Just Accepted “Just Accepted” manuscripts have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication. They are posted online prior to technical editing, formatting for publication and author proofing. The American Chemical Society provides “Just Accepted” as a free service to the research community to expedite the dissemination of scientific material as soon as possible after acceptance. “Just Accepted” manuscripts appear in full in PDF format accompanied by an HTML abstract. “Just Accepted” manuscripts have been fully peer reviewed, but should not be considered the official version of record. They are accessible to all readers and citable by the Digital Object Identifier (DOI®). “Just Accepted” is an optional service offered to authors. Therefore, the “Just Accepted” Web site may not include all articles that will be published in the journal. After a manuscript is technically edited and formatted, it will be removed from the “Just Accepted” Web site and published as an ASAP article. Note that technical editing may introduce minor changes to the manuscript text and/or graphics which could affect content, and all legal disclaimers and ethical guidelines that apply to the journal pertain.

of
lithium-rich
Li1.2Ni0.2Mn0.6O2
and
poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) are synthesized through co-precipitation followed by a wet coating method. In the resulting samples, the amorphous conductive polymer films on the surface of the Li1.2Ni0.2Mn0.6O2 particles are 5–20 nm thick. The electrochemical properties of Li1.2Ni0.2Mn0.6O2 are obviously enhanced after PEDOT:PSS coating. The composite sample with an optimal 3 wt% coating amount exhibits better rate capability and cycling properties than those of Li1.2Ni0.2Mn0.6O2, with an excellent initial discharge capacity of 286.5 mA h g−1 at a current density of 0.1 C and discharge capacity remained 146.9 mA h g−1 at 1 C after 100 cycles. The increased performances are ascribed to the high conductivity of the PEDOT:PSS coating layer, which can improve the conductivity of composite material. The PEDOT:PSS layer also suppresses the formation and growth of a solid electrolyte interface. Surface modification with PEDOT:PSS is a feasible approach to improve the comprehensive properties of cathode materials.

1. INTRODUCTION With the development of electric vehicles, smart phones, and laptops, the demand for lithium ion batteries (LIBs) has increased.1-2 However, the traditional cathode materials such as LiCoO2, LiFePO4, and LiMn2O4 with limited specific capacity (
