A wide range of research focused on investigating microscale lattice structure gained a lot of traction recently in part due to development of 4 th generation synchrotron sources and its respective characterization techniques. Bragg Coherent Diffraction Imaging (BCDI) technique images the local strain fields originating from the defects and follow their evolution during charging. This technique allowed to link morphology and dynamics of nanoscale defects and associated strain fields with the voltage fade present in lithium-rich layered oxides (LRLO) and LiNi 0.5 Mn 1.5 O 4 (LMNO) cathodes . With a more statistical approach by Laue microdiffraction it is possible to identify and quantify multiple types of defects in an ensemble of particles . The strain fields originating from geometrically necessary dislocations were suggested to promote the delithiation reaction in LiCoO 2 (LCO) cathodes highlighting the importance of precise control of cathode microstructure.
