THE SCALABLE SILICON SOLUTION FOR LI-ION BATTERIES

THE
NEED
IN A
NUTSHELL

Existing Li-ion battery advancements have been leveling off

In short, we need more energy at lower costs. EVs will drive further, consumer electronics will last longer, and grids will store more renewable energy

The good news:
a step-up change in performance is available thanks to one of the most abundant resources on earth.
Silicon

 

So, while batteries are currently made this way:
Graphite Anode
Metal Oxide Cathode

250 Wh/kg
GRAVIMETRIC
ENERGY DENSITY

 

$125/kWh
CAPACITY COST

They can now be made like this:
VS.
GRAPHITE-SILICON
ANODE
Metal Oxide Cathode

350 Wh/kg
GRAVIMETRIC
ENERGY DENSITY
 

<$90/kWh
CAPACITY COST
 

Utilizing Silicon in place of graphite is a notoriously difficult problem. A successful integration is akin to solving a Rubik’s Cube – achieving one trait compromises others and requires fine tuning that most material companies do not have

We tackle Silicon’s numerous issues using surface functionalization technology. This heavily patented platform technology allows us to controllably alter Silicon’s properties at its most intimate interfacial dimension—the surface where it meets electrolyte and lithium. This allows us to influence the interaction with the other materials in the anode to optimize its performance in the cell in ways that were previously cost-prohibitive
