Welcome to the Era of Supercharged Lithium-Silicon Batteries
Silicon oxide comes pre-puffed, so it reduces the stress on the anode from swelling during charging. Cary Hayner, cofounder and CTO of NanoGraf, thinks it’s possible to get the finest of silicon and graphite without the loss of energy capability from silicon oxide. Their design utilizes a graphene matrix to provide silicon room to swell and to protect the anode from destructive responses with the electrolyte. Their option includes packing silicon nanoparticles into a stiff shell, which secures them from destructive interactions with the battery’s electrolyte. To reduce the costs of producing nanoparticles, Advano sources its raw product from silicon wafer scrap from business that make solar panels and other electronics.
