We believe an operando study tracking particles from their known initial state is essential for understanding cracking behaviour. Earlier attempts to describe first-cycle cracking have been limited by undefined starting conditions or inconsistent samples between pristine and cycled electrodes, often leading to speculative conclusions. Here, the initial condition of each particle is known, allowing us to track crack propagation on a particle-byparticle basis across multiple states-of-charge (SoC) within a commercial electrode. Previously, we conducted a pseudo in situ study using nano X-ray CT (125 nm resolution) to track particles during charging. However, the small field of view (FoV), requirement for a small sample (<100 µm) and extensive post-processing limited the analysis to only a few particles. Our imaging method presented here, in conjunction with a grey level analysis algorithm for defect detection, enables rapid assessment of over 7000 particles at multiple states-ofcharge (SoC), revealing how particle delithiation state influences cracking behaviour. Additionally, we tracked ongoing fracturing in the same electrode over 10 subsequent cycles, offering insight into how first-cycle cracking propagates during the early life of the cell, offering potential insights that will improve the lifetime of NMC811 cells under particular conditions.
