The alarming effect of climate change and its consecutive negative impact on the environment are the serious issues that should be tackled immediately. Along with that, the depletion of fossil fuels may create an energy source outrages soon. So, it is indispensable to find an alternative environmentally benign energy technology. Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) prove to be a great source of energy storage as they excel in larger operating potential, high energy density, and long cycle life. Due to such positive outcomes, LIBs were largely preferred and serve as energy storage devices in almost all electronic devices such as mobile phones, laptops, etc. As a cause of global warming, the automobile industry is transforming to electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) which are majorly powered by lithium-ion batteries. Several research studies have been vigorously carried out to improve the energy density and safety of LIBs, especially focusing on electrode and electrolyte components. Out of other classes of cathode materials, the layered nickel-rich Li[Ni0.8Co0.1Mn0.1]O2 (NCM811) material well performs in high operating voltage (>4.5V) and delivers high discharge capacity. Nevertheless, these materials have some limitations such as poor rate capability and high-capacity fading due to structural instability, Li/Ni cation disordering, surface degradation, and release of oxygen from the side reactions. To overcome these disadvantages, several techniques such as surface coating, metal doping, control of morphology, and composite formation have been developed. Among all the techniques, surface coating can be an effective strategy to limit the degradation of the electrode surface during prolonged contact with the electrolyte and enhance ionic conductivity by forming a stable cathode electrolyte interface (CEI) which consequently improves the stability of the material. Several studies have already been made by surface modification of cathodes and enhancing the electrochemical properties of LIBs. Carbon as a coating agent on the cathode and anode is proven to be an efficient strategy to prevent the degradation of the electrodes. In terms of dual atom coating effects, several studies on nitrogen-doped carbon coated on Ni-rich cathode materials were made with melamine, dopamine, L-cysteine, etc. as a source of N and C. Melamine-derived g-C3N4 coated NCM811 proves to be an effective approach to boost the performance and it is observed that the thin coating can effectively improve the cyclic properties of about 84% of capacity retention in 225 cycles at 1C. Chitosan as a bio-polymer derived N-doped carbon coated on NCM811 was studied and proved to be an effective strategy to enhance structural stability by registering 79% capacity retention at 100 cycles in 0.1C. Not limited to the cathode, the N-doped carbon coating effect can also enhance the performance of anode in Li-ion batteries. Optimal coating of nitrogen-doped graphitic carbon derived from dopamine acts as a better coating agent on Si anode acts as an excellent SiC negative electrode and achieves excellent rate capability and long cycle behaviors. Compared to the importance of nitrogen-contained carbon sources like dopamine, Lcysteine, and other amino acids, uric acid is a cost-effective and normal body waste product with good nitrogen and carbon content. In this work, for the first time, at the best of our knowledge, a facile one-step heat treatment of NCM811 cathode with uric acid as a source of nitrogen and carbon is proposed. To analyze the performance concerning the coating thickness, different weight ratios of pristine uric acid were used. The nitrogen-doped carbon (NC) coating layer formation over the NCM811 cathode material was confirmed by HR-TEM and energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) analysis. X-ray diffraction (XRD) is used to analyze the crystal structures of prepared NC-coated NCM811 and bare NCM811. The electrochemical performance of the Ndoped carbon-coated NCM811 was examined to utilize as a cathode in LIBs. The enhanced capacity and cyclability in NC-modified NCM811 is ascribed to the effective coating of nitrogendoped carbon which can prevent electrode dissolution and lead to a larger ionic conductivity.
