Silicon can store up to 10 times more lithium ions than graphite. It could enable the development of batteries that are smaller, lighter, and capable of delivering a greater amount of power.

Industry-leading EV OEMs have concluded that silicon anode is required to drive EV battery technology to a lower cost and provide a higher energy density, significantly extending the EV driving range.

Silicon-based anode is universally accepted as the successor to graphite anode found in today’s lithium-ion EV batteries because it has 4x the capacity, which is 1500mAh/g compared to 370 mAh/g.

Panasonic Energy and battery materials company Sila signed an agreement for Sila's novel nano-composite silicon anode, said to deliver a 20% increase in EV range and improve battery charging time.
