Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
To enhance the cycling stability of LiMn O especially at elevated temperature, we use the atomic layer deposition (ALD) method to deposit ultrathin and highly conformal ZnO coatings (as thin as 0.34-1.7 nm) onto LiMn O cathodes with precise thickness-control at atomic scale. We prepare two types of ALD-modified electrodes: one is an electrode composed of ALD-coated LiMn O particles and uncoated carbon/polyvinylidenefluoride (PVDF) network; the other is ALD-coated LiMn O composite electrode. All ALD-modified LiMn O electrodes demonstrate significantly enhanced cycling performances than bare electrodes at both 25 and 55 °C. In particular, the electrode coated with 6 ZnO ALD layers (1.02 nm thick) shows the best cycling performances among electrodes coated with ALD films of different thicknesses at both 25 and 55 °C, indicating cycling performances of coated electrodes can be easily optimized by accurately tuning coating thickness via varying ALD growth cycles. Furthermore, an electrode consisting of LiMn O particles coated with 6 ZnO ALD layers and uncoated carbon/PVDF network shows even better electrochemical performances than an electrode coated with 6 ZnO ALD layers at both 25 and 55 °C. The enhanced electrochemical performances of ALD-coated cathodes are ascribed to the high-quality ALD coatings that are highly conformal, dense, complete, and thus effectively protect active material from Mn dissolution especially at elevated temperature. © 2012 American Chemical Society.
