Quantitative analysis of diffuse electron scattering in the lithium-ion battery cathode material Li_1.2Ni_0.13Mn_0.54Co_0.13O₂.

ABSTRACT: In contrast to perfectly periodic crystals, materials with short-range order produce diffraction patterns that contain both Bragg reflections and diffuse scattering. To understand the influence of short-range order on material properties, current research focuses increasingly on the analysis of diffuse scattering. This article verifies the possibility to refine the short-range order parameters in submicrometre-sized crystals from diffuse scattering in single-crystal electron diffraction data. The approach was demonstrated on Li_1.2Ni_0.13Mn_0.54Co_0.13O₂, which is a state-of-the-art cathode material for lithium-ion batteries. The intensity distribution of the 1D diffuse scattering in the electron diffraction patterns of Li_1.2Ni<
