ELECTROCHEMICAL DEPOSITION OF METAL OXIDE COATING ON CATHODE ACTIVE MATERIALS

Abstract

Aspects of the disclosure include the electrochemical deposition of a metal oxide coating on cathode active materials and resulting battery cells. An exemplary vehicle includes an electric motor and a battery pack electrically coupled to the electric motor. The battery pack includes a battery cell that includes an anode current collector, an anode active material layer in direct contact with a surface of the anode current collector, a cathode current collector, a cathode active material layer in direct contact with a surface of the cathode current collector, and a separator positioned between the anode active material layer and the cathode active material layer. The cathode active material layer includes cathode active materials having a metal oxide coating. The metal oxide coating is electrochemically deposited onto the cathode active materials.
