SIMS is applied to the assessment of coating materials on positive electrodes in LIB.
6Li-enriched LCO modified with 6Li-enriched LWOs are developed.
Contribution of Li-ion diffusibility of LWOs to interfacial resistance is investigated.
Amorphous state LWO shows smooth Li-ion diffusion between the LWO and LCO layers.
Fast Li-ion self-diffusibility into LWO contributes to decreasing interfacial resistance.
