The evolution of modern society demands sustainable rechargeable lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) with higher capacity and improved safety standards. High voltage Ni-rich layered transition metal oxides (i.e., LiNi1-x-yCoxMnyO2, NCM) have emerged as one the most promising cathode materials in meeting this demand. However, instability NCMs cathodes presents challenges large-scale commercialization. This review examines energy storage mechanism, e.g., possible (electro)chemical reactions, occurring at bulk surface degradation mechanism materials. To address challenging issue, we highlight recent advances strategies for engineering NCMs, including lattice, composition, microstructure engineering, electrolyte interfacial engineering. By addressing mechanisms improving overall stability, work sheds lights on potential avenues commercialization cathode-based high-performance LIBs.
