Xiaomi and other smartphone brands have already significantly increased their battery sizes and Samsung is planning a big step in this regard. However, batteries with other materials should be used, which therefore promise high energy density.
It was reported some time ago that Samsung is planning smaller solid-state batteries for mobile devices in the coming years. Such as smart watches. This can greatly increase the energy density and enable devices to have a higher battery capacity and thus a longer runtime.
In smartphones, perhaps something else is happening with the battery and different materials are being used. Samsung and Apple, Such is the demand of sourcesThey are working on new silicon-carbon batteries for future mobile devices. But Samsung is already way ahead of Apple.
As with other new types of batteries, affordable mass production is ultimately the biggest challenge. Therefore, it is currently not possible to say when Samsung might use silicon-carbon batteries.
Fraunhofer, for example, is also working on such batteries and writes: “Compared to the previously commonly used anode material, graphite, silicon has the advantage of a theoretical storage capacity that is approximately ten times greater. The innovative silicon-carbon composite material significantly increases the capacity of lithium-ion batteries.
