Your next laptop may contain batteries based on these single crystals of the spinel LiMn 2 O 4 (see image), one of the most promising materials for lithium ion batteries. Their electrochemical behavior was followed and rationalized by studying subtle changes in their crystal structure during the charge–discharge process of the battery.
