Alloying-type anodes exhibit the solid-state amorphization during charging/discharging
cycles. The mechanical and electrochemical properties of amorphous reaction phases have …

Recent experiments and first-principles calculations show the two-step lithiation of
amorphous silicon (a-Si). In the first step, the lithiation progresses by the movement of a …

A mathematical model for buckling analysis during the first lithiation of cylindrical crystalline
silicon (c-Si) anode particles is presented using the finite deformation framework. A reaction …

Despite many existing studies on silicon (Si) anodes for lithium ion batteries (LIBs), many
essential questions still exist on compound formation, composition, and properties. Here we …

By using the Noether's first theorem, this paper constructed two types of path-independent
integrals in equilibrium electro-chemo-elasticity and proved their uniqueness. These path …

An improved mathematical model for the first lithiation of crystalline silicon is presented in
the finite deformation framework. The crystalline-amorphous silicon interface kinetics is …

Using molecular dynamics method, we investigate the diffusion property of lithium in
different silicon structures and silicon structure's disorder extent during lithium's diffusion …

The coupling between solid state diffusion and mechanical stress arises in a number of
important technological applications. The theory that describes such coupling is termed …

A finite deformation modeling framework is developed to capture the experimentally
observed two-phase, non-axisymmetric growth during the first lithiation of crystalline silicon …

Recent in-situ experiments show that stress-driven migration of the phase interface during
two-phase lithiation in nanosized particles exhibits self-limiting and size-dependent …
