MCXD also gives an insight into interdependence between inter-and intra-particle dspacing heterogeneity by comparing the widths of the individual peaks (colored peaks in Figure ) vs the width of the summed profile of all of the diffracted intensity along the observed portion of the powder ring (black line in Fig- ). The width of the summed intensity profile originates primarily from sharper peaks corresponding to individual particles with varying d-spacing rather than a set of wider profiles with similar average d-spacing value (Figures 5B). This is the case for the whole duration of the charging process as shown in the Figure , where the evolution of full width at half maximum (FWHM) for individual peaks (B, light colors) and the summed profile (A, dark colors) is presented. The FWHM of individual peaks is on average more than 3 times lower during cycling. This suggests the prevalence of inter-particle heterogeneity between homogeneous single crystal particles even during a solid-solution segment of charging process. Lack of strong intra-particle lattice heterogeneities suggests that the LMNO delithiation is limited to a lesser extent by the diffusion inside the crystallites and to a greater extent by crystallite boundary kinetics . While the increase of Li 1 and Li 0.5 summed profile widths at the end of respective transitions (top points in Figure ) seemingly could be explained by gradual decrease of the diffraction volume, this is not supported by the opposite evolution of the individual peaks widths (bottom points Figure ). This could indicate a predisposition of highly strained particles to be delithiated first which is indirectly confirmed by the SXDM observation of defected regions of the particle.
