Solidion develops new anode for lithium-ion batteries

Solidion (STI) announced that it has developed a new breed of silicon-rich high-capacity anode for lithium-ion batteries. The company said, “Solidion has pioneered multiple approaches to the design and production of low-cost, high-performance Si-rich anode materials, containing 45%-95% by weight of Si to extend the driving/flying ranges by 20-45%. This truly game-changing technology is based on the implementation of an elastic or flexible rubber to encapsulate Si particles and protect the entire anode electrode. These anode materials can be manufactured with innovative processes that are silane-free and CVD-free and make use of low-cost metallurgical-grade or reclaimed Si as a feedstock material.”
