The morphology and structure of the modified cathode material were characterized by scanning electron microscopy （SEM） and X-ray diffraction （XRD）. The performance including cycling stability, diffusion coefficient under different voltage, C-rate discharge of the batteries with this modified cathode material was examined. The results showed that the battery with the coated cathode material could discharge at a large current density, and it possessed a stable cycle performance in the range from 3.0 V to 4.2 V. It was explained that the rate of Li ion diffusion increased in the batteries using SrO/Li2O/La2O3/Ta2O5/TiO2-coated LiCoO2 as the cathode and the coated layer could act as a fast ion conductor （SrO/Li2O/La2O3/Ta2O5/TiO2） and as a protecting shell to prevent LiCoO2particles from being attacked by the acidic electrolyte.展开更多
