Honor unveils the first silicon-carbon battery with 12.8% higher energy density

27 February 2023
This is compared to a standard lithium battery that uses a graphite anode and has the same physical size.

    Every time it needs charging. In actual fact, every battery powered device I own is used until it shuts-down (powers off) because the battery has completely drained (~0%), and need recharging, and I have been doing it for decades with no ill-effect...

        The more interesting thing than the capacity, that most ppls misses here is if this would be meaningfully more clean to mass-produce compared to Li-Ion, or maybe the opposite, will it be even more polluting.

          YeaRight, 27 Feb 2023We don't need more density. We need removable batte... moreBatteries are not removable, so that you cannot completely turn off your phone (no, using soft power off does not fully turn it off).

          This is by design, so that you can tracked and be spied on everywhere.

          That's why removable batteries won't be coming back anytime soon.

                    We don't need more density.

                    We need removable batteries so that I can replace them when necessary and carry around two extra batteries in case I need to swap them on the go.

Not worth the tradeoffs in battery charge cycles. Running them in that voltage region is more damaging. How often do you let your phone dip below 12%?

                          Looks like this will be a competitor to GAN. However, if it's liquid based like current lithium batteries, I don't think it'll be any different even if increased capacity. Still would like to see where this goes.

                              China might not create these technologies but they are the only one willing enough to make the first step with these technologies even in their rough

                              They literally breathe life into newer innovations

                              All players like Samsung and Apple do is just yawn 🥱 and wait for the harvest

                              Samsung doesn't have a rival like Huawei anymore and what do they do just make features that have JUST caught up to Huawei P and mate flagships from YEARS ago...

                                This is the next technology upgrade to take over the world.. 🤞🏻

                                    12% is a massive gain some people don't even get 5% pay increase in 10 years

                                    Banks even have less than 1% interest and most people don't even improve themselves by 5% yearly lol
