      abstract     = {Recently, considerable efforts have been made in research
                      and development to improve Ni-rich lithium-ion batteries to
                      meet the demands of vehicles and grid-level large-scale
                      energy storage. The development of next-generation
                      high-performance lithium-ion batteries requires a
                      comprehensive understanding of the underlying
                      electrochemical mechanisms associated with their structural
                      evolution. In this work, advanced operando neutron
                      diffraction and four-dimensional scanning transmission
                      electron microscopy techniques were applied to clarify the
                      structural evolution of electrodes in two distinct full
                      cells with identical LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 cathodes but
                      different anode counterparts. It is found that both cathodes
                      in the two cells exhibit non-intrinsic two-phase-like
                      behavior at the early charge stage, indicating selective Li+
                      extraction from cathodes. But the heterogeneous evolution of
                      cathodes is inhibited with a graphite–silicon blended
                      anode compared to that with a graphite anode due to
                      differences in the delithiation rate. Moreover, it is
                      revealed that the formation of heterogeneous structures is
                      driven by the distribution of defects including Li/Ni
                      disordering and microcracks, which should be inhibited by
                      assembling an appropriate anode to avoid potential threats
                      to cell performance. The present work unveils the origin of
                      inhomogeneity in Ni-rich lithium-ion batteries and
                      highlights the significance of kinetics control in
                      electrodes for batteries with higher capacity and longer
                      life.},
