Batteries with silicon anodes promise to make devices last more than 20 percent longer on a single charge.

In the booming business of batteries, energy density is everything. The idea is simple: If companies can pack more power into a smaller space, they can make devices that are longer-lasting, lighter, or have more room for other features. 

A raft of startups is working on batteries made with silicon anodes, which promise 20-40% improvements in energy storage. That means longer lasting phones and more mileage for EVs.

The Big Easy is getting an infusion of Silicon Valley glamor and money thanks to … silicon. 

A battery start-up that’s backed by iPod inventor and Nest founder Tony Fadell, and which claims to have found a green and scalable way to make lithium-ion batteries more efficient, on Tuesday announced that it raised $18.5 million in its Series A funding round.

While plenty of engineers have ideas to improve rechargeable batteries, relatively few of the new concepts are ready for mass production.

With Tony Fadell’s help, Advano is building battery components to power an electric future

iPod pioneer Tony Fadell is backing a battery company that says it’s found a way to store more energy using silicon scrap waste.

New Orleans startup Advano makes silicon nanoparticles—by the ton.

The startup journey certainly is a woeful one and that story has been no different for Advano than it has been for any other long-storied startup. Especially when it comes to hardware.

A cooperative endeavor agreement with the University allows Advano to rent space, use equipment and collaborate with faculty at UNO’s Advanced Materials Research Institute (AMRI).

Advano, an advanced materials company in New Orleans, has secured $500,000 in seed funding from major investors around the U.S.
