silicon.
These batteries are lightweight
have thousands of hours of life
have a high tolerance for both humid and
tremendously dry weather
The Silicon-Air Battery performs all tasks that all
other batteries can accomplish, but with more energy
efficiency.
Environment
 created by Oxygen and Silicon
 Luckily, Silicon is the second most plentiful element
in the earth’s crust.
 The Silicon-Air battery’s advanced features of long
lasting power and ingredients allow society to be
more environmental friendly
Why to be concerned about
the Environment?

 As the battery upgrades to a more powerful source of
energy, there are many new and efficient uses for it.

Ex: Hearing Aids that last longer
Future Technology
 upgrading this new battery = energy use that will
become far more efficient in a way that it will be
more powerful and will be able to perform more
advanced technological services for society.
Ex: Electric Cars
The use of electric cars will become more efficient:
 gasoline fueled cars because gasoline resources are
becoming scarce daily
 the resources for the Silicon-Air Battery remain
plentiful and easy to recycle
Significance
The Silicon-Air battery
 supports a clean and healthy environment
 use of technology to be more efficient and advanced due to
its long lasting battery life.
 this battery may upgrade to a high powered energy source
that positively contributes to future technology
 This new technology provides a new source of energy
that our society needs and will utilize to its full
extent.
Energy for the Future?
