Self-contained power supplies and energy storage continue to improve. The criteria that determine their development include efficiency, safety, adaptability, modifiability, and a number of others. In this work, one of the ways to improve the lithium-ion battery by using a new negative electrode is considered. The possibilities of applicability of the improved lithium-ion battery are discussed, its advantages and disadvantages in relation to a hydrogen fuel cell and power sources using hydrogen fuel are considered. The study of the functioning of the new anode, the material of which is a two-layer silicene on a nickel substrate, is carried out at the atomic level. Improvement of the anode characteristics can be achieved by subjecting it to the neutron doping. Li-ion batteries with an improved anode will have higher charging capacity and power, faster charging and improved safety.
