description <p dir="ltr">Developing sophisticated lithium-ion batteries with high energy and power density requires using high-voltage positive electrodes. Due to its three-dimensional lithium-ion diffusion and greater nominal operating voltage, spinel LiNi<sub>0.5</sub>Mn<sub>1.5</sub>O<sub>4</sub> has emerged as one of lithium-ion batteries' most viable cathode materials. Electrolyte breakdown, Mn dissolution, and rapid cathode-electrolyte interface (CEI) degradation in lithium-ion cells are exacerbated by the high operating voltage of LNMO. Consequently, the long-term cycling of LNMO is hampered by such adverse side effects, making the commercialization of such a battery impractical. Here, we document the enhancement in the electrochemical performance of LNMO by surface modification utilizing a combination of Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> coating and Graphene enveloping employing a facile wet synthesis technique. The presence of highly crystalline spherical secondary microspheres consisting of primary nanoparticles of disordered LiNi<sub>0.5</sub>Mn<sub>1.5</sub>O<sub>4</sub>, the surface modification with Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>, and the subsequent graphene wrapping were all confirmed by structural and surface analysis techniques. The fabricated cells containing the enhanced cathode material (LNMO-Al-GO) were cycled at a C/10 rate for 100 cycles in a voltage window of 3.5–4.9 V, providing a specific discharge capacity of 134.7 ± 3.8 mAhg<sup>−1</sup>. Delivering a capacity retention of 97.7 ± 3.9% compared to the unmodified LNMO sample (84.7 ± 5.3%). Ex-situ XRD, Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS), and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) investigations reveal that the alumina coating protects the cathode by acting as a hydrogen fluoride (H.F.) scavenger and minimizes unfavorable phase formations at the CEI, inhibiting Mn<sup>3+</sup> dissolution and enhancing cyclability.</p><h2>Other Information</h2><p dir="ltr">Published in: Ceramics International<br>License: <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" target="_blank">http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/</a><br>See article on publisher's website: <a href="https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ceramint.2024.02.271" target="_blank">https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ceramint.2024.02.271</a></p>
