Abstract

Due to the ever-growing importance of rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, the development of electrode materials and their processing techniques remains a hot topic in academia and industry. Even the well-developed and widely utilized active materials present issues, such as surface reactivity, irreversible capacity in the first cycle, and ageing. Thus, there have been many efforts to modify the surface of active materials to enhance the electrochemical performance of the resulting electrodes and cells. Herein, we review the attempts to use polymer coatings on the anode active materials. This type of coating stands out because of the possibility of acting as an artificial solid electrolyte interphase (SEI), serving as an anode protective layer. We discuss the prominent examples of anodes with different mechanisms: intercalation (graphite and titanium oxides), alloy (silicon, tin, and germanium), and conversion (transition metal oxides) anodes. Finally, we give our perspective on the future developments in this field.
