Figure 10. The effect of highly elastic GE on the stability of electrode structure. (A) Thickness evolution of the SiO electrode and SiO electrode with elastic GPE during the initial three lithiation/delithiation cycles; SEM images of the top view (B) and cross-section (C) of the SiO electrode after 10 cycles were compared; SEM images of the top view (D) and cross-section (E) of the SiO electrode with elastic GPE after 10 cycles.
