Our LIB anode materials are synthesized by processing the carbon in the presence of nano-silicon, resulting in a C/Si composite. Different ratios of C:Si have been synthesized to address different performance requirements (capacity, cycle-life, etc.). Advantages of our process include the ability to synthesize a very homogeneous composite with stable C/Si interface properties.
The current industry standard graphite-based anode materials offer a capacity of ~372 mAh/g. The next generation of C/Si anode materials are projected to have capacities between 500 mAh/g and 2500 mAh/g, enabling high energy-density and fast charging applications.
