Fig. 3. Lithium-diffusion pathways with lower energy barriers in close-packed oxides.

Fig. 3

a Two-dimensional lithium diffusion from one octahedral site to another octahedral site in the lithium plane through a neighboring empty tetrahedral site in the O3 layered LiMO2 cathodes. b Three-dimensional lithium diffusion from one 8a tetrahedral site to another 8a tetrahedral site through a neighboring empty 16c octahedral site in the spinel cathodes.
