Oxide interface coating architecture: BASFRecent Research Landscape

Interfacial degradation at the crystal level triggers rapid capacity fade and thermal instability. Engineering the grain boundaries of polycrystalline structures creates a protective barrier that prevents electrolyte penetration and structural collapse.

What technical problems is BASF addressing in Oxide interface coating architecture?

Electrode surface chemical instability

(64)evidences

Parasitic side reactions between the electrode surface and electrolyte cause capacity fade. Mitigating this degradation prevents impedance growth and extends cycle life.

Surface residual alkali formation

(23)evidences

High-nickel cathodes react with moisture to form deleterious surface impurities like lithium hydroxide and carbonate. Removing these species prevents gas evolution and impedance growth during battery cycling.

Surface chemical instability

(13)evidences

Electrolyte decomposition and parasitic reactions occur at the active material surface during cycling. Suppressing these reactions prevents impedance growth and capacity loss.
