Abstract:Silicon is one of the most considered solutions to improve lithium-ion battery technology. Nevertheless, silicon shows a huge expansion, leading to a significant “breathing” of electrodes during cycling, i.e. a succession of swelling and shrinking. Irreversible volume changes are observed and conjectured to be related to microstructure changes. However, current publications addressing the modelling aspects mainly use analytical or continuous models. Thus, this study aims to apply discrete element method (DEM),… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
