The new generation of smartphones will always offer higher pixels and faster processors, but unfortunately, no matter which brand you choose, the battery life is regrettable. However, a team of scientists from the McCormick Institute of Engineering and Applied Sciences in the United States seems to have solved this tricky problem by using a mixed layer of carbon and silicon to boost today's lithium-ion batteries. They have developed a new type of lithium-ion battery that can hold 10 times more electricity than before, while charging time is only one tenth of the original.

After adopting this technology, offices will no longer be cluttered with phone charger circuits, and even electric supercars can be created. This is no longer a theoretical theory: according to the research team's speculation, this new technology will enter the market within the next three years. This technology uses standard lithium-ion batteries used in modern high-tech devices such as smartphones, but with the use of new electrodes. The new battery can store 10 times more electricity than standard lithium-ion batteries, and it takes less time to fully charge. In addition, with it, trams will become more practical, with a lower likelihood of running out of power and stalling during travel.

The inventor of this research achievement, Harold Kunger, said, "We have found a way to extend the charging life of a new type of lithium-ion battery by 10 times. Even after one year of use, its efficiency is still five times higher than the lithium-ion batteries currently available on the market." The use of graphene is a major breakthrough. Graphene is a layer of carbon and silicon with atomic thickness, but its defects make ions move faster in the battery. Therefore, batteries will store more energy and have shorter charging times. The charging speed of batteries using this new technology has increased by 10 times. Kunge said, "We have almost achieved a win-win situation
