contents Higher energy density and longer lifetime are the requirements for next-generation lithium-ion batteries. A promising anode material is silicon, which offers high specific capacity, but its significant volume change during lithiation and delithiation enormously reduces battery lifetime. A physical understanding of the processes degrading the battery is key to mitigate this effect and advance in the field. We develop a physics-based model to describe degradation during battery cycling under various protocols and storage conditions, with varying check-up (CU) frequencies. The model can disentangle basic degradation mechanisms, such as the growth of the Solid-Electrolyte Interphase (SEI), from silicon mechanisms, such as particle cracking, SEI growth on cracks, and loss of active material (LAM). We investigate the impact of CUs on the observed storage degradation and the reason behind the increased degradation in batteries, including silicon in the anode. Additionally, we relate the observed degradation to operating conditions, enabling future optimization of battery use and design.
