Abstract
The full static picture of Li storage in Li(4)Ti(5)O(12) is derived using the latest spherical aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy and first-principles calculations. The accommodation of the additional Li(+) is directly visualized and the distribution of electrons introduced by lithium insertion deduced. Moreover, Li(4)Ti(5)O(12) is found to transform into Li(7)Ti(5)O(12) on lithiation by developing a dislocation-free coherent hetero-interface.
