The research on the electrodes of Li-ion batteries aims to increase the energy density and the power density, improve the calendar and the cycling life, without sacrificing the safety issues. A constant progress through the years has been obtained owing to the surface treatment of the particles, in particular the coating of the particles with a layer that protects the core region from side reactions with the electrolyte, prevents the loss of oxygen, and the dissolution of the metal ions in the electrolyte, or simply improve the conductivity of the powder. The purpose of the present work is to review the different surface modifications that have been tried in the past for the different electrodes that are currently commercialized, or considered as promising, including the three families of positive electrodes (lamellar, spinel, and olivine families) and the three negative electrodes (carbon, Li4Ti5O12, and silicon). The role of the different coats used to improve either the surface conductivity, or the thermal stability, or the structural integrity is discussed. The limits in the efficiency of these different coats are also analyzed along with the understanding of the surface modifications that have been proposed.
