Effects of carbon impurities on the performance of silicon as an anode material for lithium ion batteries: An ab initio study

Silicon is widely used in the semiconductor industry and has recently become very attractive as a lithium ion battery anode due to its high capacity. However, volume changes associated with repeated lithiation–delithiation cycles expose fresh silicon surfaces to the electrolyte, causing irreversible...
