Wrapping Silicon Sawdust in a Graphene Cage Improves Lithium-Ion Battery Performance

For years, scientists have been trying to use silicon to produce a lithium-ion battery anode capable of storing 10 times more energy than the existing commercial anodes, and making smaller and lighter batteries with superior performance. Previously there had been two major issues; silicon particles swell in size, and crack and break during the charging stage; and when they react with the electrolyte, they form a coating that decreases their performance.
