A major barrier to the use of high energy capacity silicon in a lithium-ion battery is the volumetric expansion of silicon under lithiation and delithiation, which results in electrode degradation and capacity fade. Silicon (shown in grey) is capable of holding 10 times as many lithium ions (shown in pink) as currently-used anodes.
