Lithium Ion performance and cost improvements have plateaue’d
whilst EV-driven demand is sky-rocketting
Silicon-Anode unlocks tomorrow’s better batteries, with 10x energy capacity v.s graphite, but challenges exist
Short Lifetime
Swelling issues (up 300%) causing battery degradation, dramatically reducing cycle life of cells, the lifetime of the batteries
Challenges to scale commercially
Complex nanoparticle production processes are costly and too slow to scale to vast quantities needed to fuel our EVs
Monocrystalline Silicon NanoPowders
Through the power of the nanoscale, NanoPow’s proprietary high-quality range of nano crystalline silicon powders unlock step-change performance improvements
Storage capacity to be increased by 30% to 300% using a standard anode depending on chemistry and graphite displacement percentage.
Significant improvement in efficiency and cycling of batteries.
Chemically controlled interface between the silicon and the electrolyte and thus avoiding cracking.
Particle range tailored for applications, including:
-
Carbon Coating
Carbon layer is standardising the dispersion of nano-Si in the graphite matrix and increasing the ionic and electronic conductivity.
-
Particle Size Distribution
Optimal size and distribution in order to achieve the required quality.
-
Affinity
Improve the affinity of nano-Si with graphite and other binders.
