Mechanistic Analysis of Mechano-Electrochemical Interaction in Silicon Electrodes with Surface Film
Abstract
High-capacity anode materials for lithium-ion batteries, such as silicon, are prone to large volume change during lithiation/delithiation which may cause particle cracking and disintegration, thereby resulting in severe capacity fade and reduction in cycle life. In this work, a stochastic analysis is presented in order to understand the mechano-electrochemical interaction in silicon active particles along with a surface film during cycling. Amorphous silicon particles exhibiting single-phase lithiation incur lower amount of cracking as compared to crystalline silicon particles exhibiting two-phase lithiation for the same degree of volumetric expansion. Rupture of the brittle surface film is observed for both amorphous and crystalline silicon particles and is attributed to the large volumetric expansion of the silicon active particle with lithiation. The mechanical property of the surface film plays an important role in determining the amount of degradation in the particle/film assembly. A strategy to ameliorate particle cracking in silicon active particles is proposed.
