Schematic diagram to show cycling induced surface layer evolution. At left side, the pristine particle has a C 2/ m structure and PNS layers are located at (20 -2) surface planes. After cycling, due to Ni 2+ migration from bulk to surface, Mn 2+ surface aggregation and Li + depletion in surface layer, SRL is developed on particle surface except the PNS. 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. I41 structure is the main phase in the SRL.
