Structural and electrochemical study of the reaction of lithium with silicon nanowires

The structural transformations of silicon nanowires when cycled against lithium were evaluated using electrochemical potential spectroscopy and galvanostatic cycling. During the charge, the nanowires alloy with lithium to form an amorphous Li x Si compound. At potentials
