SrLi2Ti6O14 (SLTO) coated with different amount of ZrO2 was successfully prepared. The as-obtained composites are stacked by a series of particles with a pure phase structure and a good crystallinity. Furthermore, ZrO2 coating not only enhances the structural stability of the materials but also facilitates the diffusion of lithium through the SEI film. As a result, the redox polarization was reduced, and the reversibility of the electrochemical reaction was enhanced. Particularly, SLTO-ZrO2-2 sample delivers a high initial lithiation capacity of 283.6 mA h g−1, and the values maintain at 251.7, 228.0, 207.4, 175.3, and 147.7 mA h g−1 at the current densities of 0.13, 0.26, 0.54, 1.31, and 2.62 A g−1, respectively. Our experiment also confirmed that SLTO materials coated with ZrO2 are suitable for high power density applications, and the lithiation specific energy efficiency of SLTO-ZrO2-2 is 200% as high as that of pure SLTO at a power density of 1257 W kg−1.
