      To understand the reason for mechanical failure and capacity fading of Si-based composite thin film batteries, we have developed a lithiation-induced interfacial stress model. The role of electrochemical charging reaction process,stiffness-induced elasto-plastic deformation and relative change in resistivity in detail through regional material heterogeneity sensitivity exponent has been accounted for anomalous interfacial stress generation. The insight gained from theresults of state-of-health of the battery electrodes suggests that the transition of material from elastic to plastic behaviour and cracking at the interface are due to volume expansion, i.e., fully lithiated. Finally, the unified lithiation-induced stressmodel unravels the effect of embedded material heterogeneity parameters coupled with resistivity and stiffness and its anomalous dynamics at composite electrode–collector interface. The verification with the available experimental data inthe literature has also been made and hence providing a better insight into the origin of degradation and the evaluation of advanced battery electrodes.
