Our imaging results reveal the potential of the NeXT technique for ex-situ 3D visualization of graphite anode degradation. Imaging graphite anode degradation during operando and/or in-situ battery cycling can help reveal the onset and rate of progression of anode degradation in real-time, hence advancing our mechanistic understanding of LIB failure during XFC. However, to fully utilize the unique advantages of combining neutron and X-ray µCT data, design of a NeXTfriendly LIB is needed. 49
