Some of the modern devices like LG

Some of the modern devices like LG Optimus Vu smartphones come with advanced SiO+ batteries. Let us take a look at what is an Sio+ battery.

SiO and SiO+ based batteries are nothing but an enhanced version of the Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) batteries. SiO batteries use Silicon based material as the anode in the battery (SiO stands for Silicon Oxide). The Silicon based anode brings better battery performance in to the traditional Li-Ion batteries.

Most of the traditional Li-Ion batteries use graphite as the anode. Many researches has been conducted by various universities and research firms to find alternatives for graphite based anodes in the Lithium-Ion batteries. Some of the recent researches have found that Silicon based anodes can significantly improve the storage capacity of the Li-Ion battery. Among many Silicon based anodes, the SiO based anodes were found to be most efficient, providing great electrical storage capacity without increasing the size of the battery.
