(color online) EIS of the Si/C composites after different numbers of cycles at the cut-off voltage of 1.0 V: (a) 30-nm, (b) 100-nm, (c) 500-nm, and (d) 3000-nm Si/C. (e) Charge-transfer resistance evolutions as a function of the number of cycles for the composites. (f) SEI resistance evolution as a function of the number of cycles for the composites.
