We have used a laboratory diffractometer to perform operando X-ray diffraction on LiFePO₄ during electrochemical cycling in a coin cell fitted with a Kapton window. The results obtained are in good agreement with previous studies, verifying that extraction of Li from LiFePO₄ follows dual-phase solid solution behaviour, with neither LiFePO₄ nor FePO₄ maintaining a static composition during deintercalation.
