The interfacial (electro)chemical reactions between electrode and electrolyte dictate the cycling stability of Li-ion batteries. Previous experimental and computational results have shown that replacing Mn and Co with Ni in layered LiNi  x  Mn  y  Co 1- x - y  O 2 (NMC) positive electrodes promotes the dehydrogenation of carbonate-based electrolytes on the oxide surface, which generates protic species to decompose LiPF 6 in the electrolyte. In this study, we utilized this understanding to stabilize LiNi 0.8 Mn 0.1 Co 0.1 O 2 (NMC811) by decreasing free-solvent activity in the electrolyte through controlling salt concentration and salt dissociativity. Infrared spectroscopy revealed that highly concentrated electrolytes with low free-solvent activity had no dehydrogenation of ethylene carbonate, which could be attributed to slow kinetics of dissociative adsorption of Li + -coordinated solvents on oxide surfaces. The increased stability of the concentrated electrolyte against solvent dehydrogenation gave rise to high capacity retention of NMC811 with capacities greater than 150 mA h g -1 (77% retention) after 500 cycles without oxide-coating and Ni-concentration gradients or electrolyte additives.
