This work reports the surface stability of the high vollage Li ion cathode LiMn2_,Ni,Ooh\ (x = 0.5, 0.45) by comparing thin fi lm and powder composite electrodes after cycling using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The thin film electrodes offer the abili ty to probe the surface of the material without the need of a conductive agent and polymer binder typically used in composite electrodes. The resulls suggest that neither oxidation of PP6 to POF3 nor the decomposition of ethylene carbonate or dimethylene carbonate occurs on the surface of the spinel material. These resulls confirm the enhanced cycling stability and rate capability associated with the high vollage spinel material and suggests that the SE!IIayer fonns due to the reaction of electrochemically inactive components in composite electrodes with the electrolyte.
