Cover Story: Silicon is considered a promising anode active material for lithium-ion batteries due to its high capacity. However, silicon experiences a severe volume expansion upon lithiation, resulting in poor electrochemical performance. This study focuses on the impact of silicon content and particle size of carbon-coated nano-silicon graphite composites. It was shown that the specific surface area is a major factor in determining the initial electrochemical performance. Furthermore, a pitch-derived carbon coating successfully improved particle stability and capacity retention. View this paper

Systematic Workflow for Efficient Identification of Local Representative Elementary Volumes Demonstrated with Lithium-Ion Battery Cathode Microstructures

  • Benjamin Kellers,
  • Martin P. Lautenschlaeger,
  • Nireas Rigos,
  • Julius Weinmiller,
  • Timo Danner and
  • Arnulf Latz

The concept of a representative elementary volume (REV) is key for connecting results of pore-scale simulations with continuum properties of microstructures. Current approaches define REVs only based on their size as the smallest volume in a heteroge...
