LiV<sub>3sub>O<sub>8sub> is coated on the Li[Li<sub>0.17sub>Ni<sub>0.17sub>Co<sub>0.10sub>Mn<sub>0.56sub>]O<sub>2sub> cathode successfully.
LiV<sub>3sub>O<sub>8sub>-coated cathodes are prepared by a chemical deposition method.
Capacity retention of the LiV<sub>3sub>O<sub>8sub>-coated cathode has been improved.
Cyclic performance of the LiV<sub>3sub>O<sub>8sub>-coated cathode has been increased.
Rate capability of the LiV<sub>3sub>O<sub>8sub>-coated cathode has been enhanced.
