(a) TR-XRD patterns and simultaneously measured mass spectra for (b) O2and (c) CO2, released from Li0.33Ni0.8Co0.15Al0.05O2during heating to 500 °C. The formation of CO2is associated with the oxidation of carbon (from either the PVDF binder or the conducting carbon in the charged electrode) by the released oxygen.[
