They report that the silicon / graphite composite is mass - producible and it has superior battery performances with industrial electrode density, high
areal capacity, and low amounts of binder.
The latter was discovered by Ford Motor Company in the 1980s, but it was never known how to use it at high
areal capacity.
Past researchers have achieved either high cycle life or high
areal capacity, but never both together, the team notes.
In essence a high
areal capacity is required to build a real, practical battery, as opposed to a small toy battery.
Achieving high
areal capacity is critical for packing a lot of battery electrodes together into a battery case.

• The predictive
capacity of GCMs against the
areal precipitation is even poorer (overestimation by about 100 to 300 mm).
