A silicon-graphite blended anode is paired with a high capacity LiFePO₄ reference/counter electrode to track irreversibility and lithium inventory. The LiFePO₄ electrode provides a reliable, flat potential for dQ dV^-1 analysis of Li_xSi and Li_xC electrochemical reactions. We can relate this electrochemistry to the morphological and physical changes taking place.
