Fig. 6: Degradation of LMO electrode following cycling.

a Capacity fade observed while cycling the electrode in a LixMn2O4 vs graphite cell for 150 cycles. b Lattice parameter histogram for a sample removed from the degraded cell that was discharged to 3V and disassembled. The histogram is overlaid with three ranges of lattice parameter values that were segmented from the inset XRD-CT slice. Scale bar is 50 µm. c Diffraction profiles from the 3 segmented regions as shown in the inset segmented XRD-CT slice. d Corresponding mass fractions of phases identified in the three segmentations.
