Abstract

The volume expansion of Si and SiO particles was investigated using a single-particle battery assembled with a focused ion beam and scanning electron microscopy (FIB-SEM) system. Single Si and SiO particles were galvanostatically charged and discharged as in real batteries. Microstructural changes of the particles were monitored in situ using FIB-SEM from two different angles. The results revealed that the volume expansion of micrometer size particle SiO was not only much smaller than that of Si, but it also kept its original shape with no sign of cracks. This isotropic mechanical property of a SiO particle can be attributed to its microstructure: nanosized Si domains mixed with SiO2 domains. The nanosized Si domains can mitigate the anisotropic swelling caused by the orientation-dependent lithium-ion insertion; the surrounding SiO2 domains can act as a buffer to further constrain the localized anisotropic swelling.
