Summary A composite electrode model has been developed for lithium-ion battery cells with a negative electrode of silicon and graphite. The electrochemical interactions between silicon and graphite are handled by two parallel functions for lithium diffusion in silicon and graphite, with separate interfacial current densities from each phase.
Furthermore, because silicon particles rapidly fracture during cycling, the amount of silicon is normally limited to a small mass fraction, relative to graphite, in the negative electrode for commercial battery cells, e.g. ca. 10% for the LG M50 cells .
This review summarizes the application of silicon-based cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries, summarizes the current research progress from three aspects: binder, surface function of silicon materials and silicon-carbon composites, and looks forward to the future research direction.
It is often blended with graphite to form a composite anode to extend lifetime, however, the electrochemical interactions between silicon and graphite have not been fully investigated.
