much slower than synchrotron equivalents (ca. 10 s acquisition time) showed the improvements in performing lab-based operando studies in close to real time. Patterns were obtained continuously whilst the battery was charged at a C-rate of C/10. Variables such as the C-rate can be chosen to allow for data acquisition to be performed at multiple points throughout the cycle, at a time scale appropriate for the acquisition. For example, with an acquisition time of 8 min, a C-rate of C/2 would Condens. Matter 2020, 5, 75 7 of 28 give 15 data points along the charge curve. The cell used in this study was a modified coin cell with a 10 mm Kapton window.

NMC622 electrodes (so-called 622 stoichiometry according to the ratio of Ni:Mn:Co) had been cycled NMC622 electrodes (so-called 622 stoichiometry according to the ratio of Ni:Mn:Co) had been cycled extensively [58], and operando XRD measurements were acquired of pouch cells using the Rigaku extensively [58], and operando XRD measurements were acquired of pouch cells using the Rigaku SmartLab X-ray diffractometer utilizing a 1760 W Cu X-ray source and a D/teX Ultra 1D detector.

The operando Each measurement took 27 min, again much slower than acquisition rates at beamlines. The operando cells adopted for this experiment were pouch cells made with a thin polypropylene material. Pouch cells cells adopted for this experiment were pouch cells made with a thin polypropylene material. Pouch usually contain a thin layer of aluminum foil which prevents moisture entering the cell. This component cells usually contain a thin layer of aluminum foil which prevents moisture entering the cell. This was removed from the pouch cell as aluminum would attenuate the lowly penetrative X-rays from the Cu source, which is already attenuated by the pouch cell case, used without any X-ray transparent windows or modification. In order to prevent moisture from affecting the results, the work was carried out in a dry room and only one cycle was recorded. The electrodes used in the pouch cells had been pre-cycled 100 times in a coin cell. Only the 1st, 2nd and 101st cycle were studied. This is a limitation of this method as it means that incremental cycle numbers were not studied and therefore important results may be missed. Due to the cyclability of a moisture prone cell it would be difficult to cycle the cell in the diffractometer for 100 cycles without the battery materials being tarnished by moisture. An alternative could be a pouch cell with an X-ray transparent window. Despite the high quality results achievable with laboratory diffractometers, access to synchrotron facilities has had a profound influence on battery studies. Starting from the advent of synchrotron
