X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was used to analyze fresh LiNi_0.6Co_0.2Mn_0.2O₂ powder obtained from Ecopro Company, Ltd.. XP spectra were obtained using incident monochromatic Al Kα radiation at 0.834 01 nm. A survey spectrum together with Ni 2p, Co 2p, Mn 2p, Ni LMM, O 1s, C 1s, Al 2s, Ni 3s, Co 3s, Mn 3s, Ni 3p, Co 3p, Li 1s, and Mn 3p are presented. The spectra indicate the principal core level photoelectron and Auger electron. Making use of the O 1s, Ni 3p, Co 3p, Mn 3p, Li 1s lines and neglecting the components related to surface contaminants, XPS quantitative analysis reveals an altered stoichiometry of the air-exposed powder surface of LiNi_0.2Co_0.05Mn_0.1O_0.7.
