NOVELTY - Electrodepositing a protective carbon coating on to the surface of cathode or anode materials involves immersing a working electrode and a counter electrode into an organic solvent comprising a carbon source in an ambient atmosphere, electrodepositing a carbon coating onto a surface of the working electrode from the organic solvent at a temperature ranging from about (-5)-(50)degrees Celsius, and removing the carbon coated working electrode from the organic solvent. The carbon coated working electrode is rinsed with the organic solvent in which the carbon is electrodeposited, and dried the carbon coated working electrode under vacuum. USE - Electrodepositing a protective carbon coating on to the surface of cathode or anode materials for lithium (Li)-ion batteries ADVANTAGE - The method of electroplating (or electrodeposition) carbon to coat anode and cathode active materials used in Li-ion batteries improves their cycle life, and carbon coating can be applied to both conventional slurry-based electrodes and non-conventional materials such as Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) electroplated cathode and anode active materials that do not contain polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) or carbon additives.
