The challenge and directions for future research is proposed. Silicon (Si) is one of the most promising anode materials for the next generation of lithium-ion battery (LIB) due to its high specific capacity, low lithiation potential, and natural abundance.
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 thus wins in the case of a so-called “anodeless” battery with no excess lithium metal; however, silicon starts to take the edge if the cell is constructed with an actual lithium metal anode that exceeds the quantity of cyclable lithium. For a battery with 3–4 mAh/cm 2 areal capacity, this corresponds to just 15–20 µm of lithium.
Li-Si materials have great potential in battery applications due to their high-capacity properties, utilizing both lithium and silicon. This review provides an overview of the progress made in the synthesis and utilization of Li-Si as anodes, as well as artificial SEI and additives in LIBs, Li-air, Li-S, and solid-state batteries.
A patent entitled “Large-format battery anodes comprising silicon particles” was transferred from Colorado-based startup SiLion to Tesla in October 2021 and hints at the utilization of a conductive polymer coating to stabilize the silicon .

Lithium–silicon battery
Lithium–silicon batteries are lithium-ion batteries that employ a silicon-based anode, and lithium ions as the charge carriers. [1] Silicon based materials, generally, have a much larger specific capacity, for example, 3600 mAh/g for pristine silicon. [2] The standard anode material graphite is limited to a maximum theoretical capacity of 372 mAh/g for the fully lithiated state LiC 6.
