Mechanical properties of Li–Sn alloys for Li-ion battery anodes: A first-principles perspective

Fracture and pulverization induced by large stress during charging and discharging may lead to the loss of electrical contact and capacity fading in Sn anode materials. A good understanding of mechanical properties is necessary for their optimal design under different lithiation states. On the basis...
