Capacity gain in Li-ion cells with silicon-containing electrodes
Marco-Tulio F. Rodrigues, Charles McDaniel, Stephen E. Trask +1
Silicon-containing lithium-ion batteries can exhibit capacity gain early in life, which makes forecasting future cell behavior difficult. We have observed these anomalous trends ev…
Inactive Overhang in Silicon Anodes
Aidin I. OBrien, Stephen E. Trask, Devashish Salpekar +8
Li-ion batteries contain excess anode area to improve manufacturability and prevent Li plating. These overhang areas in graphite electrodes are active but experience decreased Li+…
Consequences of Utilizing a Redox-Active Polymeric Binder in Li-ion Batteries
Sathish Rajendran, Haoyu Liu, Stephen E. Trask +3
Development of new polymeric binders can help enable the use of silicon-rich anodes in Li-ion batteries, by providing stronger adhesion to the active material particles. The compos…
Cell-format-dependent mechanical damage in silicon anodes
Marco-Tulio F. Rodrigues, Sathish Rajendran, Stephen E. Trask +6
It is generally believed that silicon-based anodes for Li-ion batteries would benefit from stronger binders, as cyclic volume changes would not disrupt the cohesion of the composit…
Pouch cells with 15% silicon calendar-aged for 4 years
Marco-Tulio F. Rodrigues, Zhenzhen Yang, Stephen E. Trask +7
Small amounts of high-capacity silicon-based materials are already used in the anode of commercial Li-ion batteries, helping increase their energy density. Despite their remarkable…
