Figure 5
(a) A contour plot of the LMO synchrotron operando data in the 17–26° 2θ range. (b) Evolution of the refined weight fractions of the four spinel LMO phases. (c) Evolution of the cell parameters (in ångströms) of the four spinel LMO phases. Regions of low weight fraction have been edited out for the sake of visibility and clarity. (d) Results of the calculated profiles in the second phase transition region (pattern number 35). The experimental X-ray powder diffraction pattern (blue curve) is compared with the calculated profile (red line). The black line denotes the difference curve between them and green vertical lines indicate the Bragg reflections corresponding to the four spinel LMO phases. Brown, yellow, violet and dun patterns correspond to the calculated profiles of these phases. Note that the few unindexed peaks in the 7–16° 2θ range are due to other cell components and were not included in the refinement. |
