Silicon is a promising alternative to the conventional graphite anode in high-energy lithium-
ion batteries owing to its high gravimetric capacity. However, intrinsic issues, such as severe …

The exponential growth of stationary energy storage systems (ESSs) and electric vehicles
(EVs) necessitates a more profound understanding of the degradation behavior of lithium …

In order to determine the quality of newly produced lithium-ion cells, self-discharge
measurements are performed after manufacturing during the so-called aging step. The …

The solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) on a Si negative electrode in carbonate-based organic
electrolytes shows intrinsically poor passivating behavior, giving rise to unsatisfactory …

Silicon anodes for lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs) have the potential for higher energy density
compared to conventionally used graphite‐based LIB anodes. However, silicon anodes …

This study conducts a qualitative comparison between two methods for detecting side
reactions-the voltage hold and voltage decay methods using a high precision coulometry …

Silicon-based lithium-ion batteries have started to meet cycle life metrics, but they exhibit
poor calendar life. Here, electrolyte fluorination impact on calendar fade of blended silicon …

The cell finishing process is the final stage in the production of a battery cell. Almost one
third of the production costs of a battery cell are related to this part of the production. It …

This study investigates the transient heat flow during voltage holds for multi-layer pouch
G/NMC811 lithium-ion cells. When applying a voltage hold to estimate the amount of …

Lithium fluoride (LiF) is a ubiquitous component in the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) layer
in Li-ion batteries. However, its nanoscale structure, morphology, and topology, important …
