Cover Picture: Elliptical Silicon Nanowire Covered by the SEI in a 2D Chemo-Mechanical Simulation (Batteries & Supercaps 5/2025)

Abstract

The Front Cover illustrates silicon nanowires as a promising next-generation anode for lithium-ion batteries. The inset highlights the elliptical shape of the nanowires covered by a solid-electrolyte interphase shell and the lithium concentration distribution inside the nanowire. Notably, the mechanical impact of the shell causes lithium concentration anomalies inside the nanowires. More information can be found in the Research Article by R. Schoof, L. Köbbing and co-workers (DOI: 10.1002/batt.202400604).
