Caption

Here is a selection of 3D element distributions of individual elements after 10,000 charge cycles, i.e. post mortem: On the top left, crystallised electrolyte can be seen, iron in the metal contacts and copper from the back contact have remained stable, while manganese from the NMC cathode (upper light blue stripe) has partially deposited on the bottom of the anode. The publication contains the full explanation.
