What are silicon-carbon batteries used in new phones and how are they different from conventional lithium-ion batteries?

A new wave of flagship Android smartphones is coming, and they share one thing in common – they all pack heavier-duty batteries than their predecessors while becoming leaner thanks to the new silicon-carbon technology, which is helping brands to significantly reduce the physical size of the battery while increasing the charge-holding capacity.

Silicon-carbon (Si-C) batteries are said to transform electronic gadgets and the automobile industry significantly with their clear advantages over lithium-ion batteries which powered almost all gadgets over the last 30 years.
