This dataset contains the data of the following figures:

Figure 3. Operando pressure measurements of a LiFePO4 vs Li cell during C/2 cycling, using a LiFePO4 electrode with loading of 7.59 mg cm-2 deposited on steel mesh. 

Figure 5. Operando pressure measurements of a graphite vs Li cell during the first two formation cycles at C/20, followed by C/2 cycles, using a graphite electrode with loading of 6.46 mg cm-2 deposited on steel mesh. 

Figure 6. Operando pressure measurements of a graphite vs Li cell during fast C/2 cycling (after two formation cycles at C/20), using a graphite electrode with loading of 5.59 mg cm-2 deposited on steel mesh. 

Figure S3a. Comparison of the evolution of experimental pressure measurements and pressure values corrected for temperature fluctuations, for the experiments shown in Figure 3 in the main article.

Figure S3b. As in figure S3a but for the experiments shown in Figure 5 in the main article.

Figure S3c. As in figure S3a but for the experiments shown in Figure 6 in the main article.

Figure S4. Comparison of operando pressure measurements of two cells of LiFePO4 vs Li cell during C/2 cycling, performed with LiFePO4 electrodes deposited on steel mesh with loading of 6.20 mg cm-2 (a) and 7.59 mg cm-2 (b). 

Figure S5a. Comparison of the evolution of pressure inside the cells containing LiFePO4 electrodes and electrolyte (without any electrochemical cycling) for cells prepared without (a) and with (b) polishing of the inside of the steel cell body to remove corrosion residues.
