“…The lattice parameters and unit cell volumes of cycled LCe0 are a = 6.11502 Å, b = 10.44360 Å, c = 4.74611 Å and V = 303.10 Å 3 , while those of cycled LCe3 are a = 6.10576 Å, b = 10.44324 Å, c = 4.74998 Å and V = 302.88 Å 3 . The variations of lattice parameters before and after cycling may be caused by the Jahn-Teller distortion which creates mechanical stress and causes lattice distortions [36]. Comparing the lattice parameters in Table 2, cycled LCe3 shows less variation in the lattice parameters than cycled LCe0, and the variation in cell-unit volume for LCe0 is about 3 times larger than that of LCe3 after cycling.…”
