The structural and interfacial instability of high-nickel layered cathode material (NCM811) were improved by the construction of inorganic-organic dual-coating. The dual-coating layer was composed of nano lithium metaluminate (LiAlO₂, LAO) and cyclopolyacrylonitrile (cPAN). The LAO is a typical lithium-ion conductor, which can be used as a surface coating material to ensure rapid Li⁺ migration at the interface. In addition, the polyacrylonitrile (PAN) undergoes cross-linked cyclization reactions, resulting in the formation of a delocalized π bond and the formation of the cPAN with electronic conductivity after low-temperature heat treatment. The structure and composition of the dual-coating layer were carefully characterized, which indicates its uniform distribution on the surface of the NCM811 material. The as-obtained modified sample showed an electrochemical capacity retention of 84.8% after 150 cycles in the voltage range of 2.7-4.3 V (vs Li/Li⁺) at the current density of 1C (180 mA·g^-1). Under the same test conditions, the capacity retention of pristine NCM811 was only 65.5%. The dual-coating layer can effectively protect the active material and could reduce the electrolyte decomposition on the material surface to a certain extent, leading to a decrease in interfacial impedance.
