Figure 6: Dislocation associated with cracks in cycled LiNi_1/3Mn_1/3Co_1/3O₂.

(a,b) are the early incubation stages, showing vacancy condensation at dislocation core and (c) is the corresponding model. (d–f) show dislocations associated with cracks. Red arrows indicate crack tips. Scale bars, 2 nm; except f (5 nm).
