Summary: This study reports on the application of Zinc-substituted Li4P2S6 as a Li-ion conductor, which showed significantly improved ionic conductivity compared to unsubstituted Li4P2S6. The improvement was achieved by generating Li-ion deficiency through Zn substitution, enabling Li ions to hop within the crystal structure. The diffusion pathways of Li ions were found to be mostly two-dimensional in this structure.

Summary: A method combining operando computed tomography and X-ray absorption near-edge structure spectroscopy (CT-XANES) is proposed in this paper to directly track the evolution of the 3D distribution of local capacity loss in battery electrodes. The method enables a five-dimensional analysis of degradation, including spatial coordinates, time, and chemical state. It quantifies the spatiotemporal dynamics of local capacity degradation and correlates it with overall electrode performance, providing critical insights for identifying degradation factors and developing batteries with long-term stability.
