Despite the high energy density, LiNi0.9Co0.1O2//Si-C batteries suffer from severe structural instability of electrodes and their interfaces with electrolyte, leading to rapid performance degradation. Here we report a simple surface-coating method for constructing a multifunctional aminosilica-like skin on LiNi0.9Co0.1O2 cathodes using coordination mechanism. The conformal aminosilica-like skin provides fast Li-ion and charge transport channels at the cathode surface, significantly suppresses undesired layered to spinel/rock-salt phase transformations and dissolution of transition metals from the cathode and subsequent migration to anode, and effectively stabilizes both cathode/electrolyte and anode/electrolyte interfaces as well as the bulk electrodes. This approach remarkably enhances the cyclability of LiNi0.9Co0.1O2//Si-Graphite full-cell, which shows a high reversible capacity of 200 mAh g(-1) and stable cycling performance (83% retention for 300 cycles at 1 C rate). This simple, efficient and environmentally friendly cathode surface-engineering offers a promising design strategy for high-energy Li-ion batteries.
