Silicon based materials, generally, have a much larger specific capacity, for example, 3600 mAh/g for pristine silicon. The standard anode material is limited to a maximum theoretical capacity of 372 mAh/g for the fully lithiated state LiC6.

Lithium-silicon batteries are essentially lithium-ion batteries that integrate silicon in their anode for improved battery efficiency. [pdf]
Lithium–silicon batteries are lithium-ion batteries that employ a silicon -based anode, and lithium ions as the charge carriers. Silicon based materials, generally, have a much larger specific capacity, for example, 3600 mAh/g for pristine silicon.
Silicon-based materials are promising anode compounds for lithium-ion batteries. Si anodes offer a reduced lithium diffusion distance and improved mass transfer. Si nanomaterials are highly significant due it improved energy density and safety. An in-depth overview of Si materials, its synthesis techniques and trends are discussed.
Silicon (Si), the second-largest element outside of Earth, has an exceptionally high specific capacity (3579 mAh g −1), regarded as an excellent choice for the anode material in high-capacity lithium-ion batteries. However, it is low intrinsic conductivity and volume amplification during service status, prevented it from developing further.
Lithium-silicon batteries also include cell configurations where silicon is in compounds that may, at low voltage, store lithium by a displacement reaction, including silicon oxycarbide, silicon monoxide or silicon nitride. The first laboratory experiments with lithium-silicon materials took place in the early to mid 1970s.

Currently, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are at the forefront of energy storage technologies. Silicon-based anodes, with their high capacity and low cost, present a promising alternative to traditional graphite anodes in LIBs, offering the potential for substantial improvements in energy density.
