Abstract
Electrode materials and electrolytes play a vital role in device-level performance of rechargeable Li-ion batteries (LIBs). However, electrode structure/component degeneration and electrode-electrolyte sur-/interface evolution are identified as the most crucial obstacles in practical applications. Thanks to its congenital advantages, atomic layer deposition (ALD) methodology has attracted enormous attention in advanced LIBs. This review mainly focuses upon the up-to-date progress and development of the ALD in high-performance LIBs. The significant roles of the ALD in rational design and fabrication of multi-dimensional nanostructured electrode materials, and finely tailoring electrode-electrolyte sur-/interfaces are comprehensively highlighted. Furthermore, we clearly envision that this contribution will motivate more extensive and insightful studies in the ALD to considerably improve Li-storage behaviors. Future trends and prospects to further develop advanced ALD nanotechnology in next-generation LIBs were also presented.

Benefitting from these unique carbonaceous supports, several other types of 2D/3D nanostructures-based anodes fabricated by the ALD have been reported, such as, Li4Ti5O12@graphene nanosheets (GNs) [82], RuO2@multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) [67], TiO2@GNs [76], TiO2/carbon black [78], WS2@MWCNT [83], WNx@Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) [85]
Summary
The wide application of electric vehicles (EV) and hybrid EV may be one of the best approaches to reduce the continuous consumption of traditional fossil fuels, which can alleviate the deepening crises about climate change and air pollution.

As for the sol-gel method, due to the heterogeneously distributed coating raw materials and the limited fluid dynamics, the thickness of the coating layer is greatly difficult to be uniform In conquering these upsetting issues, a promising strategy, called atomic layer deposition (ALD), has been an extensively researched hotspot, benefitting from its multifunctional capabilities and exceptional characteristics [38,39,40,41,42,43,44,45]. We outline the remarkable significance of the ALD in next-generation LIBs together with its potential utilizations in LIBs for future studies
