Figure displays the setups for SXDM and Multicrystal X-ray Diffraction techniques which were used alternatively during the experiment in operando condition. The measurement of the LMNO|Li battery was performed in a LeRiche cell in reflection geometry. The 115 Bragg reflection of the cubic Spinel phase has been measured with a 10 keV X-ray beam at the single (SXDM) and ensemble-averaged (MCXD) particle level. The detailed procedure of single particle scanning X-ray imaging with a Fresnel zone-plate focused beam is described in Ref. . Here, the X-ray beam has been focused down to ∼ 80 nm. While this technique allows to obtain local strain and mosaicity information with unprecedented spatial resolution, scans are still limited to a small region (5 × 5 µm 2 at for 15 minutes acquisition time and maximum 100 × 100 µm 2 ) on the cathode. For a macroscopic comparison with the evolution of an ensemble of particles during charging after each SXDM measurement the focusing optics was put aside to measure the diffraction signal from multiple crystallites with an unfocused beam defined by slits. ∼ 200 µm slit size was chosen to ensure that individual crystals can be resolved in the powder ring). During these scans we also var-ied the rocking curve angle to obtain the size of the Bragg reflection along the third axis as well as to increase the particle statistics.
