Figure 2
In situ XRD patterns for nanostructured LiMnO:C composites in a 7:3 ratio showing no signal (either Bragg or diffuse) from other cell components (i.e. current collectors, fibre glass separators or lithium metal). The background measured for an empty cell is overlapped and the background-subtracted signal is given below. It should be noted that the intensities of the datasets are normalized to an absolute scale. Thus, the artefacts in the PFA background-subtracted data originated from the technical challenges of manufacturing PFA cells with homogenously thin walls, where the scattering from PFA cells varies as a function of the cell orientation making the background data collection more challenging. |
