Fig. 7: Illustration of structural deformation.

Side views of the optimized geometries for the pristine and S-substituted LNMO surfaces at the delithiation levels of x = 0 and x = 0.4. The black circle indicates the lattice oxygen evolution and the displacement of Ni and Mn atoms on the LNMO surface. [Color code: red- oxygen; gray- manganese; green- nickel; purple-lithium.].
