In a study published in the journal ACS Nano, researchers showed how a coating that makes high capacity silicon electrodes more durable could lead to a replacement for lower -
capacity graphite electrodes.

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.
Replacing the
graphite electrode in rechargeable lithium batteries with silicon could increase the
capacity ten-fold, making them last many hours longer before they run out of juice.
