What exactly is silicon-carbon battery? A silicon-carbon battery is a lithium-ion battery with a silicon-carbon anode instead of the usual graphite anode. This design allows for higher energy density since silicon can hold much more lithium than graphite. Silicon has a charge capacity of 420 mAh/g — almost 13% higher than graphite''s 372 mAh/g.
Key Differences Between Silicon-Carbon and Lithium-Ion Batteries in Smartphone: The technology behind silicon-carbon batteries is still in the early stages of development.

Lithium-ion batteries (LiBs) play a crucial role in powering various electronic devices, making them indispensable in the present technology-driven world [1, 2].Over the past years, the development of the electric vehicle (EV) industry has put forward higher requirements for the performance of lithium-ion batteries [].Therefore, there is a trend for traditional graphite
The battery technology is described in the Sept. 24, In practice however, lithium-ion batteries with silicon added to the anode to increase energy density typically suffer from real-world performance issues: in particular, the number of times the battery can be charged and discharged while maintaining performance is not high enough. Much of the problem is
Graphite stores lithium ions between sheets of carbon, at best caching one lithium ion for every six carbon atoms. Silicon forms an alloy with lithium ions—a process that can store more than

On top of this, silicon-carbon batteries have a higher energy density compared to lithium-ion batteries. This means that manufacturers can fit a higher battery capacity in the same size battery – or slim down a device without reducing the capacity at all.
A long-standing goal for anode innovation with lithium batteries has been to leverage silicon as an active material inside of the anode, creating a lithium-silicon battery. Lithium-silicon batteries have the potential to hold huge amounts of lithium ions due to silicon’s 10x higher capacity than graphite.
Lithium-silicon batteries also include cell configurations where silicon is in compounds that may, at low voltage, store lithium by a displacement reaction, including silicon oxycarbide, silicon monoxide or silicon nitride. The first laboratory experiments with lithium-silicon materials took place in the early to mid 1970s.
