A key strength of this method is its ability to detect small, statistically significant changes in particle properties, even when individual variations are subtle. By analyzing thousands of particles within a single dataset, this method provides robust sample-level insights into material degradation. For example, the operando study demonstrated spatially resolved damage patterns within the electrode, revealing that particles further from the current collector sustained less damage due to poorer electrical contact. These findings underscore the utility of this approach for linking particle-level damage to cell-level behaviour.
