To study the influence of solid-state electrolyte coating layers on the performance of cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries in combination with organic liquid electrolyte, LiNbO₃-coated Li₁.₀₈Mn₁.₉₂O₄ cathode materials were synthesized by using a facile solid-state reaction method. The 0.06LiNbO₃–0.97Li₁.₀₈Mn₁.₉₂O₄ cathode exhibited an initial discharge capacity of 125 mAh g–¹, retaining a capacity of 119 mAh g–¹ at 25 °C, while at 55 °C, it exhibited an initial discharge capacity of 130 mAh g–¹, retaining a capacity of 111 mAh g–¹, both at a current density of 0.5 C (where 1 C is 148 mAh g–¹). Very good rate capability was demonstrated, with the 0.06LiNbO₃–0.97Li₁.₀₈Mn₁.₉₂O₄ cathode showing more than 85% capacity at the rate of 50 C compared with the capacity at 0.5 C. The 0.06LiNbO₃–0.97Li₁.₀₈Mn₁.₉₂O₄ cathode showed a high lithium diffusion coefficient (1.6 × 10–¹⁰ cm² s–¹ at 55 °C), and low apparent activation energy (36.9 kJ mol–¹). The solid-state electrolyte coating layer is effective for preventing Mn dissolution and maintaining the high ionic conductivity between the electrode and the organic liquid electrolyte, which may improve the design and construction of next-generation large-scale lithium-ion batteries with high power and safety.
