The full cell's stability significantly depends on its ability to handle the challenges of volume expansion and pulverization during the alloying reaction. To elucidate these changes, we characterized the electrodes at various stages: the pristine condition (I), after the first delithiation (II), and following 400 delithiation cycles using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) as depicted in Figure . Initially, the TzG@Li x Si electrodes show a uniform surface with spherical silicon particles averaging 500 nm, formed post full pre-lithiation (Figures ) and b(I)), as opposed to the un-prelithiated TzG@Si anode (Figure ). These spheres featured a homogenous, rich fluoride SEI layer confirmed by EDX analysis (Figure ) and were enveloped by polymer sheets ensuring a crack-free surface.
