The capacity of lithium-ion batteries might be increased by six times by using anodes made of silicon instead of graphite. Scientists have observed for the first time in detail how lithium ions migrate into thin films of silicon. It was shown that extremely thin layers of silicon would be sufficient to achieve the maximal load of lithium.
