Unlocking the Full Potential of Electronics with Silicon-Enhanced Lithium-Ion Batteries

With the onset of advanced computing and rising specifications of high-performance electronics, energy storage or batteries have become the main bottleneck in realizing full performance needs. Among the many nascent, emerging battery materials, silicon has become the primary, go-to solution to eliminate performance ceilings. However, steep manufacturing costs and difficulty procuring input precursors limit the integration of silicon anodes in lithium-ion batteries. This talk explores the different types of silicon anode materials and the technical and market opportunities that silicon-enhanced batteries will pave for the electronics industry.
