YES!!!!!!
This is from one of HPQ Silicon blogs and I believe it:
"Graphite anodes are consistent performers; however, their limited energy capacity makes them ill-suited for tackling global electrification. Silicon anodes, on the other hand, absorb more lithium than their graphite counterparts; this offers a substantial improvement in battery efficiency.
Atomically speaking, substituting graphite for silicon as the primary material in the lithium-ion anode would improve its capacity for taking in ions because each silicon atom can accept up to four lithium ions, while in graphite anodes, six carbon atoms take in just one lithium.
Replacing Graphite with Silicon also allows for the manufacturing of smaller size batteries for electronic devices and electric cars, and presents a potential to increase battery charge by ten times."
