Study of lithium-ion battery anodes based on silicon nanostructures by Fan, Yu

“…However, it is found that anodes based on bulk or micron-sized Si exhibit very poor cycling performance due to the structural pulverization caused by significant volume changes (upto 400%) of Si during Li+ insertion/extraction processes. On the other hand, nanostructured Si has been shown to alleviate this problem because it has a large portion of surface atoms that could effectively release internal strain through the surrounding space. …”
