β¦ Synopsis
In order for Li-Si alloys to be used in Li-ion batteries as anodes, knowledge of their mechanical properties, such as Young's moduli, is crucial. Young's modulus of polycrystalline Li 22 Si 5 was determined from nanoindentation testing. The value of Young's modulus was 35.4 Β± 4.3 GPa. This value is approximately one-half of the predicted value based on density functional theory calculations. This difference was not a result of the testing procedure or microstructural variables.

In this study, a procedure for estimating Young's modulus of textured and non-textured polycrystalline materials was examined based on finite element analyses, which were performed using three-dimensional polycrystalline finite element models of a random structure, generated using the Voronoi tessel
