Operando Measurement of Layer Breathing Modes in Lithiated Graphite

Hossein Yadegari et al.

Summary: The study reports direct detection and dissociation of specific crystallographic phases in lithiated graphite, confirming the impact of local strain on the graphite lattice during lithium intercalation/deintercalation process. The findings reveal new graphene-like characteristics in lithiated graphite under deep charged condition due to the induced strain by inserted lithium. Additionally, the study provides a simple experimental tool to measure induced strain in the graphite structure under full intercalation conditions.
