Silicon is the most promising anode active material for future lithium-ion batteries. However, the realization of its high theoretical capacity is largely impaired by degradation of the silicon particles and ongoing side reactions upon repeated (de-)lithiation. It is the overarching goal of this PhD thesis to develop a more comprehensive and quantitative understanding of the underlying degradation phenomena of blended silicon-graphite anodes and to evaluate their impact on practical lithium-ion batteries.
