Ni-Land Fe-Ledge sXAS spectra collected on LixNi1/3Mn1/3Co1/3O2(a) and LixFePO4(b) electrodes underin-situandex-situconditions, respectively. The red (dark purple) spectra correspond to the electrodes at fully discharged (charged) states. The evolution of the spectra represents the changes of the TM-3d states at different electrochemical stages. The well-defined isosbestic point of the LixFePO4indicates a two-phase transformation.
