Abstract
We apply in-situ neutron diffraction to investigate charge/discharge processes in a commercially available rechargeable lithium ion battery, LiCoO{sub 2}/C. Phase transformations are observed in both layered LiCoO{sub 2} and spinel-type LiCoO{sub 2} as Li is removed and re-inserted during electrochemical cycling. Similarly, the graphite anode exhibits behaviour in accordance with Li insertion/extraction.
