Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) of high energy density and light-weight design, find wide applications in electronic devices and systems. Degradation mechanisms that caused by lithiation is a main challenging problem for LIBs with high capacity electrodes like silicon (Si), which eventually can reduce the lifetime of batteries. In this paper, a hybrid phase field model (PFM) is proposed to study the fracture behavior of LIB electrodes. The model considers the coupling effects between lithium (Li)-ion diffusion process, stress evolution and crack propagation. Also, the dependency of Elastic properties on the concentration magnitude of Li-ion is considered. A numerical implementation based on a MATLAB finite element (FE) code is elaborated. Then, the proposed hybrid PF approach is applied to a Nanowire (NW) Si electrode particle. Numerical results show that the hybrid model shows less tendency to crack growth than the isotropic model.
