Correction to: Imaging Light–Induced Migration of Dislocations in Halide Perovskites with 3D Nanoscale Strain Mapping

Owing to an error in properly normalizing the reconstruction phase data into atomic displacements, the strain values that we used to calculate the root mean squared local strain, ε rms , and to calculate the fraction of the crystals more strain than 1%, f, quoted in the original paper, are roughly one order of magnitude too large. This error was only discovered recently whilst performing further analysis.

Resolving electrochemically triggered topological defect dynamics and structural degradation in layered oxides

Understanding topological defects-controlled structural degradation of layered oxides—a key cathode material for high-performance lithium-ion batteries—plays a critical role in developing next-generation cathode materials. Here, by constructing a nanobattery in an electron microscope enabling atomic-scale monitoring of electrochemcial reactions, we captured the electrochemically driven atomistic dynamics and evolution of dislocations—a most important topological defect in material. We deciphered how dislocations nucleate, move, and annihilate within layered cathodes at the atomic scale. Specifically, we found two types of dislocation configurations, i.e., single dislocations and dislocation dipoles. Both pure dislocation glide/climb and mixed motions were captured, and the dislocation glide and climb velocities were first experimentally measured. Moreover, dislocation activity-mediated structural degradation such as crack nucleation, phase transformation, and lattice reorientation was unraveled. Our work provides deep insights into the atomistic dynamics of electrochemically driven dislocation activities in layered oxides.
