• discussed whether the interaction could be directly linked to Li-ion mobility. Furthermore, grain boundaries have been analyzed and show only weak response in ESM amplitude signal. This result is explained by incorporation of AlPO4 into the grain boundary structure, as suggested in the literature [11][17

• indenter since the grain boundary structure with a 40° angle was similar to that of single crystal copper. Upon an indentation of 2 nm (Figure 10), the slip area of the grain boundary with a 10° angle is concentrated on the grain boundary, as shown in Figure 10a. In the case of the grain boundaries with 20

• ° and 30° angles (Figure 10b,c, respectively), the dislocation appeared around the location of the indenter and extended to the lower grain boundary. Since the grain boundary structure with a 40° angle (Figure 10d) was similar to the general structure of single-crystal Cu, the atoms did not move along
