摘要
The interior microstructures of Sn particles developed during electrochemical lithiation/de-lithiation have been revealed by in situ X-ray transmission microscopy (TXM). The Li-alloying particles exhibited the formation of core-shell internal structure along with crack formation within the lithiated zone during the first lithiation. The extent and speed of the expansion process was shown to be a strong function of particle size. Upon completion of the first de-lithiaiton, the particles only partially (similar to 10%) contracted, while re-crystallization of Sn continued to take place within the interior of the particles during a following idle period. The re-crystallization process alleviated the pulverization problem and led to the formation of porous Sn particles, which exhibited remarkably attenuated dimensional variations during subsequent cycles.
