The exitance form and motion of stacking faults in lithium extraction process. a Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) image of (001) stacking faults in pristine Li2MnO3 with fault vector of b/6[110], which are confirmed by a corresponding electron diffraction (b). During delithiation, the gliding of the b/6[110] partial dislocation shears the stacking of the (001) plane from ABC1 in pristine Li2MnO3 (c), to AC2C1 (d), and AC2B (e) after 0, 301, and 408 s, respectively; corresponding density functional theory (DFT) structural models are provided of pristine Li2MnO3 (f) and generated defects (g, h), respectively. The scale bar is 5 nm
