contents The performances of lithium-ion batteries are set by the electrodes materials capacity to exchange lithium ions and electrons faster and reversibly. To this goal Ni-rich layered metal oxides, especially LiNiO2, are attractive electrode candidate to achieve both high voltage and capacities. Despite its attractiveness, several drawbacks for its industrialization are related to different form of surface and bulk instabilities. These instabilities are due to redox process involving the charge transfer between cations and anions. Therefore, a fundamental understanding based on further experimental evidence is required to resolve of charge transfer between the cation and anion from the surface to the bulk in LiNiO2. Herein, we resolve the role of nickel and oxygen in the charge compensation process in LixNiO2 electrodes from the extreme surface down to 30 nm by energy-dependent core-level HAXPES supported by ab initio simulation. We emphasize the central role of oxygen in the bulk charge compensation mechanism from LiNiO2 to NiO2 due to the negative charge transfer and bond/charge-disproportionation characters of LiNiO2. This bulk behavior is in turn responsible for surface deoxygenation and nickel reduction upon delithiation.
