(a) The in situ SANS data for cycling of half-cells containing ordered mesoporous hard carbon cathodes,^[7]Li anodes, and 1.0 M LiPF₆/EC/DMC electrolyte.

(b) The SANS intensity as a function of the scattering vector for the 1 M LiTFSI/PC (left panel) and the 4 M LiTFSI/PC (right panel) electrolyte systems.

(c) SANS curves for the Y-containing and Y-free glass-ceramics at different stages of the crystallization process (top panel) as well as the schematics of the suggested crystallization pattern (down panel).

(d) Coherent SANS intensity profile, good agreement with the experimentally obtained scattering data (red dots) was observed when a model function (blue line) based on polydisperse spheres with a shell was applied for data fitting.
