Next Generation Anodes for Lithium-Ion Batteries: Thermodynamic Understanding and Abuse Performance

Fenton, Kyle R.; Allcorn, Eric A.; Nagasubramanian, Ganesan N.

The objectives of this report are as follows: elucidate degradation mechanisms, decomposition products, and abuse response for next generation silicon based anodes; and Understand the contribution of various materials properties and cell build parameters towards thermal runaway enthalpies. Quantify the contributions from particle size, composition, state of charge (SOC), electrolyte to active materials ratio, etc.
