The development of efficient Li-ion batteries is vital for transforming our energy-greedy society to one that is more sustainable, where renewable energy will be efficiently stored and widely used. Ideally, for rechargeable and long-lasting batteries, the electrode materials should be able to reversibly (de)intercalate Li ions. This process can result in significant transformations of the cathode’s structure while trying to accommodate the changing conditions. It is crucial to know which structural changes occur at the unit cell level to understand the evolution of the electrochemical performance and degradation routes of the different cathode materials.
