The structure of surface layer transforms from original C 2/ m into I41 and fi nally developed spinel structure due to progressive TM enrichment and Li depletion.

Supporting Information Figure S5 shows the fi rst charge/discharge cycle and capacity as a function of cycle numbers, which shows a proper cell performance. The overall morphological evolution of the particle during the cycling is investigated by STEM-HAADF as shown in Figure 2a -d. It is evident that upon cycling the particle was corroded in the electrolyte, leading to the formation of cracks and pits as shown in Figure 2c and d. Surprisingly, it is found that the corrosion happens only on certain crystallographic facets, typically (200) and (202) planes, which are composed of a mixture of cations and anions (inset of Figure 1(b)). In contrast, the crystallographic planes, such as (002) and (20 -2), which are composed of pure cations/anions (inset of Figure 1(b)), are relatively stable and show strong resistance against corrosion. This observation is further con fi rmed by the conventional TEM images shown in Figure S6 in the Supporting Information.

[60.49, 649.57, 240.0, 113.63]Upon cycling, the most discernible change of the LMR particle is the formation of a surface reconstruction layer (SRL), as representatively shown by the STEM-HAADF images in Figure 2j -n and HRTEM images in Supporting Information Figure S7.

Thus, the SRL structure is actually an ordered structure, which means extra ordering was introduced during cycling as compared with pristine layered structure. It should be pointed out that the ordered feature is relatively weak and easily damaged during observation under high energy electron beam irradiation. Moreover, as shown in Figure 2n, we also noticed that M3O4 type spinel structure was formed at the very outside layer of the SRL after 45 cycles, which indicates that further depletion of the Li happens at the outside of SRL. Usually, the SRL shows a brighter contrast in STEM-HAADF images (Figure 2 and Supporting Information Figure S8), which indicates local enrichment of heavy elements.(marked by blue arrows) due to the structural ordering.

[324.45, 146.7, 240.04, 329.24]In accordance with the quantitative measurement of the TM elements (Mn and Ni) in the SRL and the PNS layer of both pristine and cycled samples, the Li concentration of these samples was also measured using EELS. The EELS measurement indicates that Li content in the SRL gradually decreases, and eventually depleted with extended cycling. As shown in Figure 3h, the low loss EELS spectra region contained Mn-M edge, Li -K edge and Ni-M edge. In the sample charged to 4.7 V, most of the Li ions have been extracted, which leads to a depressed Li-peak in bulk region. In contrast, as the pristine sample contains a high concentration of Li, the EELS captured on the surface (away from PNS) of the pristine samples (PS) shows a pronounced Li-peak. The EELS spectra obtained from the PNS layer of the pristine sample and the cycled samples (45 cycles (45S) and 100 cycles (100S)) still exhibit moderate Lipeaks, indicating that the Li content in PNS is lower than that of the PS but higher than the samples charged to 4.7 V. Compared with the sample 45S, the sample 100S shows a lower Li-peak. In the core loss region (Figure 3(i)), it is noticed that both the ratio of Mn L 3/L2 and the energy lost position of Mn depends on the cycle number. According to a two-step method, 42,43 the valence of the Mn was measured based on the Mn L3/L2 ratios. The average valence of Mn cations is reduced to less than 3+ in the SRL, which can introduce large strain due to the Jahn -Teller e ff ect and leads to structural destabilization. 44 Moreover, reduced Mn cations could gain higher mobility and leads to structural change. After cycling, a shift of the prepeak of O K-edge was noted (Supporting Information Figure S10), which can be attributed to the surface structure transformation. 45In accordance with the quantitative measurement of the TM elements (Mn and Ni) in the SRL and the PNS layer of both pristine and cycled samples, the Li concentration of these samples was also measured using EELS.

[60.49, 467.13, 239.98, 186.73]Overall, upon continuous cycling of the battery, a progressive TM enrichment and Li depletion process is undergoing at the surface of LMR particles, leading to the formation of SRL. Structurally, in accordance with the chemical composition change, the SRL went to a phase transition sequences of C 2/ m → I41 → M3O4-spinel. In Figure 5, we schematically show the surface layer evolution process upon continuous cycling. At left side, it shows a pristine C 2/ m phase LMR particle with PNS layers on (20 -2) planes. After cycling, thin SRL is developed on particle surface except the PNS layers, which is due to Ni migration from bulk to surface and Mn 2+ cation surface aggregation. In the SRL, the very outside layer eventually become Mn-rich and Ni-depleted and the inner layer is Ni-rich. Because of the TM segregation and Li-depletion in the SRL, the original C 2/ m phase loses its layered structure and transformed into I41 structure and further cycling fi nally transformed outside layer into M 3 O4-spinel.Overall, upon continuous cycling of the battery, a progressive TM enrichment and Li depletion process is undergoing at the surface of LMR particles, leading to the formation of SRL.

[324.45, 407.44, 240.04, 268.06]In summary, pristine and cycled LMR cathode materials were investigated by advanced microscopes. For the pristine LMR particles, Ni-segregation surface layer are always found at (20 -2) facets. After cycling, LMR particle developed a surface reconstruction layer (SRL) with increased thickness upon cycling. Detailed structure imaging and electron di ff raction con fi rmed the SRL formed an ordered structure. Spectroscopy analysis reveals that the SRL is TM-rich and Li-poor phase which is due to Ni migration from bulk to surface and Mn surface aggregation. The structure of the SRL is determined to be a tetragonal structure with space group of I41/amd which then transforms into a M 3 O4-spinel structure with minimal Licontent. Thus, a sequential structure transformation of C 2/ m → I41 → M3O4 -Spinel occurs on particle surface upon cycling, which is due to a progressive TM enrichment and Li depletion. The formation of the SRL on LMR particle surface is believed to be the main reason for the voltage fade, poor rate capability and capacity decay of LMR materials. These fi ndings on composition change, structural evolution of the surface layer on LMR as well as their e ff ects on materials ' electrochemical properties provide valuable understanding for the material structure and its fading mechanism. They demonstrate that it is crucial to further optimize the surface of LMR to obtain a cathode material with both high capacity and voltage stability.In summary, pristine and cycled LMR cathode materials were investigated by advanced microscopes.

Spectroscopy analysis reveals that the SRL is TM-rich and Li-poor phase which is due to Ni migration from bulk to surface and Mn surface aggregation. The structure of the SRL is determined to be a tetragonal structure with space group of I41/amd which then transforms into a M 3 O4-spinel structure with minimal Licontent. Thus, a sequential structure transformation of C 2/ m → I41 → M3O4 -Spinel occurs on particle surface upon cycling, which is due to a progressive TM enrichment and Li depletion. The formation of the SRL on LMR particle surface is believed to be the main reason for the voltage fade, poor rate capability and capacity decay of LMR materials. These fi ndings on composition change, structural evolution of the surface layer on LMR as well as their e ff ects on materials ' electrochemical properties provide valuable understanding for the material structure and its fading mechanism. They demonstrate that it is crucial to further optimize the surface of LMR to obtain a cathode material with both high capacity and voltage stability.

In Figure 1c, the particle was tilted to [010] zone axis. As marked in Figure 1(c), fi ve surface facets are well-de fi ned. Elements mapping shows that only the (20 -2) facet possesses Ni-segregation (Figure 2d and Supporting Information Figure S4). Detailed line scan results (Figure 1e and f) reveal that Ni is the only enriched element and the Ni/Mn ratio decreases from surface into bulk. The PNS layer has a typical uniform thickness of ∼ 2 nm and can only be observed on (20 -2) surface. Since only heavy TM cations (Mn and Ni) are visible in STEM-HAADF images, as indicated by the red arrows in Figure 1b, some TM cations have substituted the Li cation octahedral sites in Lislabs. Therefore, the composition of PNS is Ni-rich but Li-poor and cannot be ascribed to C 2/ m symmetry in structure. The structural features of the PNS layer will be discussed in the following section. As the PNS layer has a similar structure with cycling induced surface reconstruction layer (SRL), when observing cycling induced SRLs on cycled particles, (20 -2) surface will be avoided.Supporting Information Figure S3.

[60.49, 212.55, 240.0, 528.54]Cycling induced chemical composition change. The chemical compositions of the LMR particles after cycling were mapped by using the high e ffi cient EDS spectrometer (Figure 3a -d). In order to compare the structural and chemical composition analysis of the cycled sample with the pristine one, all the samples were tilted to the [010] zone axis (in comparison with Figure 1). Three surface facets, (002), (202) and (200), are in the edge along this orientation as indicated in Figure 3b. Quantitative EDS analysis reveals the following two points. (1) As compared with the pristine one, the SRL of the cycled sample is Ni rich along the (002), (202) and (200) facets as indicated by the Ni intensity map shown in Figure 3d, the EDS point analysis shown in Figure 3e, and the line scan pro fi le shown in Figure 3f. This is further supported by the Mn/Ni ratio as illustrated in Figure 3(g) for which the sample thickness e ff ect is normalized. (2) After cycling, the Ni concentration in the bulk lattice is decreased. This is quantitatively proved by the fact that the Ni/Mn atomic ratio for the 45 cycled sample is about 0.26 (see Figure 3(g)), which is signi fi cantly lower than the value of 0.35 for the pristine bulk sample (see Figure 1f). The observation of the formation of Ni rich SRL on the surfaces and depletion of Ni from the bulk lattice conclusively indicates that Ni migrates from the bulk to surface during the cycling of the cathode. This observation is consistent with the DFT calculation results that Ni in the Li slab has a relatively low migration barrier as compared with Li. 28 The quantitative EDS line analysis shown in Figure 3f and Supporting Information Figure S9) reveals another intriguing feature: the distribution of Mn and Ni within the thin SRL layer also shows spatial partitions, i.e., Ni-poor structure was observed in the outside edge of the SRL ( ∼ 2 nm in thickness), while Ni-rich structure was observed in the inner part of the SRL ( ∼ 6 nm in thickness). This observation probably indicates that Ni in the very outside of the particle is preferentially dissolved into the liquid electrolyte during the cycling. However, this assumption does not con fl ict with the usually seen higher Mn dissolution into electrolyte, because Ni content is much lower than that of Mn in this LMR cathode. A recent study shows that Ni dissolution can be higher than that of Mn for the Ni-rich cathode. 41 However, it has been noticed that the PNS layer (the (20 -2)) surface facet) and the SRL on the (002) remain intact during the cycling. Both (20 -2) and (002) surface facets are composed of pure cations/anions, while surface facets (200) and (202) are composed of a mixture of cations and anions. Therefore, it can be generally concluded that Ni on the surface with a mixture of cations and anions is prone to dissolve into the electrolyte, but it is not the case for the surface with a pure cations/anions.Cycling induced chemical composition change.

[324.45, 477.7, 240.04, 285.5]Structure modeling of the SRL. In the literature, the structure of the SRL has been assigned to rock salt, 5,20,35 disordered rock salt 2 and spinel (including disordered-spinel/ spinel-like). 10,21,23 However, as shown in Figure 2, the SRL in LMR cathode actually exhibits an ordered structure, which rules out the rock salt and disordered rock salt structures. For the spinel structure, it can be two kinds of spinel phases: LiM2O4 spinel and M3O4 spinel. The EELS indicates existence of Li in the SRL. Thus, the LiM2O4 spinel is only discussed at this section. The M 3 O4 type spinel will be discussed in next section. Even though the experimental di ff raction patterns match with the LiM2O4-spinel, both HRTEM and high resolution STEMHAADF images (Figures 2) do not match LiM2O4-spinel, because it is evident that all the octahedral site columns were occupied by TM cations. Therefore, the SRL is more likely to be another structure. Thackeray et al. found that when Li was chemically inserted into Mn3O4, 46 LiMn3O4 will be formed with a space group I41 (the ICSD No. is 164994). Based on structure simulation, the SRL observed in the present work is indeed correspondence to the I41 structure. Combining the EDS and EELS analysis, it is estimated that the composition of the SRL is close to LiM2O3 (M=Mn and Ni). This conclusion is supported by the comparing the experimental HRTEM and STEM-HAADF images with that of the calculated structure of rock salt, disordered rock salt, spinel and I41 as shown in Figure 4.

In order to understand the relative stability of rock salt, disordered rock salt and I41 crystal models, we calculated the lattice energy of each phase using the Vienna ab initio simulation package within the framework of DFT. 47 The three structures contain the same Li:Ni:Mn:O proportion, i.e. 0.67:0.43:0.9:2. Our calculations show that lattice energy of I41structure is about 0.10 eV lower than that of disordered rock salt structure and 0.11 eV lower than that of rock salt structure for the Li 0.67 Mn0.9Ni0.43O2 molecule.

[60.49, 224.03, 240.0, 240.85]Depending on the Li, TM and O composition, di ff erent phases can be formed. For example, Li2MnO3 adopts a monoclinic C 2/ m structure; LiMnO2 and Li(Ni0.5Mn0.5)O2 adopt the trigonal R 3 ̅ m structure; LiMn2O4 adopts a cubic Fd 3 ̅ m spinel structure, which could become Mn 3 O4 spinel with the complete depletion of Li. Thus, Li-M-O material should have a most stable structure with a given composition. As convinced by our EDS and EELS analysis, the cycling induced SRL is a TM-rich and Li-poor structure, which indicates the formation of SRL involves a progressive enrichment of TM and Li depletion upon cycling. In many cases, composition change of a material will trigger structural transformation. Therefore, we believe the structure change of the SRL is driven by its composition change. As shown in Figure 2n, we noticed a Lidepletion M3O4-spinel was developed outside of the I41 structure, which indicates the I41 structure can fi nally transformed into M3O4-spinel with further depletion of Li content. Thus, a phase transformation sequence for the surface layer is proposed as C 2/ m → I41 → M3O4-spinel. This conclusion is also supported by Figure 2l which shows the outer layer of cycled sample (100S) exhibits more clear spinelfeatured structure.Depending on the Li, TM and O composition, di ff erent phases can be formed.

(1) Gradual migration of Ni from bulk lattice to the surface will lead to gradual depletion of Ni from the bulk lattice and directly leads to capacity fading. Furthermore, with a decreasing Ni content, the Mn -Ni interaction becomes weaker which will result in material destabilization. 13 (2) Dissolution of the cations, especially Ni along crystal facets that are terminated with a mixture of both cation and anion, leads to corrosion of cathode particle and consequently the capacity fading.
