Combined electron imaging and diffraction methods for understanding disordered rocksalt cathodes by Hedley, E

“…An investigation using 4D-STEM, which evidences the formation of a spinel phase upon cycling, is presented. Finally, the application of ptychography for elucidating structural aspects of DRS cathodes is established by showing that the tetrahedral sites are unoccupied in regions of the SRO and providing insights into the nature of the termination surface.…”
