The demands for Li ion batteries are increasing and the improvement of battery performances remains one of the main goals of the research. Currently, switching to materials offering higher materials is one approach to achieve higher capacities. Here, the lithiation mechanism and ageing behaviour of silicon anodes and LiNi0.8Co0.15Al0.05O2 (NCA) cathodes in multi-layer 5 Ah pouch cells were studied with neutron diffraction. The batteries were fabricated on a research production line in order to replicate the conditions of commercial cells as close as possible. Uncylced cells were compared to an aged cell at a state of health of 60 percent. Due to ageing, the capacity is decreased, which can be seen in the evolution of the cell parameters of NCA. During relaxation the NCA peaks are shifting indicating structure changes.
