Mechanistic understanding of the electrochemo-dependent mechanical behaviors of battery anodes

Safety issues have become one of the most critical bottlenecks for the further wide application of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) as power sources in electrified vehicles. Specifically, the understanding of the electrochemical integrity of LIBs upon mechanical abuse is in pressing need. To this end, we design and conduct ex-situ experiments on anodes with various state-of-charges (SOCs) to study the coupled electrochemical and mechanical behavior...
