Using operando SXDM and MCXD we mapped the structural lattice evolution of single crystal particle and correlate it to a bigger subset of particles. We observed an irreversible structural change of a crystallite due to the plastic deformation of the particle during the phase transition. During delithiation at the points of coexistence of phases with different lattice constants inside a single particle, it is split into three domains which are tilted relative to each other (0.2-0.4 • ) to accommodate the difference in lattice parameter between them. The tilt boundaries formed during such deformation are not completely eliminated after the end of the transformation and are present in the particle even after discharge. Presence of tilt boundaries could lead to reduction of Li ion conductivity and microcracking of single crystals.
