Empowering extreme fast charging (XFC) requires a comprehensive understanding of its application with advanced anode and cathode materials in lithium-ion batteries. No report exists for the full extent of limitations for the anode with crosstalk effect from paired cathode as well as Li plating due to electrode loading under XFC. In this study, a combination of cell testing and multiple length characterization is used to investigate XFC aging mechanism in cells with a low loading of 1.5 mAh cm^-2 and high loading of 2.5 mAh cm^-2 for graphite (Gr)/Ni-rich LiNi_xMn_yCo_1-x-yO₂ (NMCs). Operando XRD mappings show 1.5 mAh cm^-2 loadings result in higher strain in graphite for all three cathode types. Among the three NMC cathodes, the graphite from NMC532 and NMC811 cells show comparable strain. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images show distinct differences between 6-C-charged anodes in two loadings. Significantly increased electrode thickness can be seen due to more damage in the graphite bulk and accumulation of the electrolyte decomposition products in electrode pores. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) reveals both cathode chemistry and Li plating influence the non-uniform SEI composition on graphite surface. We report higher Ni content in NMC811 promotes the higher levels of salt decomposition on the SEI and formation of higher mass of electrolyte aging products.
