a Schematic of LCO crystal structure with the Co, Li and O atoms in blue, green and red, respectively. The CoO6 octahedral are represented in blue. b Typical 2D detector image, when the X-rays are focused on pristine LCO, zoomed around the discontinuous (003)LCO Debye-Scherrer ring. It is composed of six intensity spots at different azimuths, namely: 25°, 90°, 160°, 205°, 275°, 345°. d Same detector image as in c but in the (azimuth, Q) space. Each intensity spot originates from a different crystal orientation as schematically represented on the panel. The grey line represents the horizontal plane (PCB substrate). d Map of the (003)LCO peak intensity and e map of the LCO∥:LCO⊥ peak intensity ratio in the pristine LCO electrode.
