However, its rate performance and cycle life are limited by low charge conduction and Jahn-Teller distortion of Mn<sup>3+</sup>. To address these issues, this study employed radio-frequency magnetron sputtering to deposit LiPON, ZnO, and Li<sub>3</sub>PO<sub>4</sub> films on LMFP electrodes for comparison. The results demonstrate that the cross-linked network structure formed by nitrogen bidentate and tridentate bonds in LiPON enhances ionic conductivity and interfacial stability. Increasing the LiPON coating layer to 2.4 nm resulted in optimal electrochemical performance of the LiMn<sub>0.8</sub>Fe<sub>0.2</sub>PO<sub>4</sub> cathodes. The initial discharge capacity was 156.9 mAh g<sup>-1</sup> at a rate of 0.1C. The capacities measured during multi-rate charge-discharge experiments at rates ranging from 0.1C to 5C were 147.8 mAh g<sup>-1</sup>, 141.2 mAh g<sup>-1</sup>, and 122.7 mAh g<sup>-1</sup> at 1C, 2C, and 5C, respectively. There was very little capacity loss when the rate was brought back to 0.1C. Capacity retention rose from 88.0% to 95.7% after 100 cycles at 0.5C. LMFP-LiPON materials have better transition metal states close to the Fermi level and lower band gaps, according to density functional theory (DFT) simulations. In addition to increasing electronic conductivity, accelerating lithium-ion transport, and improving corrosion resistance, these changes significantly reduce the Li migration barrier.
