Safety Risks from Lithium Plating
Graphite operates at a voltage so close to metallic lithium that fast charging or cold weather can cause lithium to plate on the surface, forming dendrites that pose severe short-circuit risks.

Poor Low-Temperature Performance
In cold climates, graphite suffers from drastically increased resistance and sluggish ion diffusion, leading to significant range loss and reduced power availability.

Silicon Challenges
While silicon offers superior energy density, its adoption faces significant physical hurdles that require advanced engineering solutions.
Volumetric Expansion
Silicon expands up to 300% during lithiation, causing particle cracking and loss of electrical contact.
Rapid Degradation
Mechanical stress and SEI instability result in quick capacity loss over multiple cycles.
Unstable SEI Layer
Repeated expansion disrupts the SEI layer, leading to capacity fade and poor battery longevity.

Applications
Electric Vehicles (EVs)
By addressing the volumetric expansion issues of silicon during charge-discharge cycles, our technology ensures stable performance and higher energy capacity.
This results in improved battery performance, longer driving ranges, and greater reliability for EVs and other applications.
Achieve luxury-tier range in economy EVs with only 10% material integration
By incorporating just 10% of our advanced material, economical EV options can achieve driving ranges comparable to current luxury vehicles, providing a cost-effective solution for enhanced performance.
Drones
By reducing battery weight by up to 25% for the same capacity, silicon anodes allow delivery drones to carry heavier payloads or extend their delivery radius by 20–45%.
This efficiency gain directly improves the "flight-to-charge ratio," enabling more deliveries per shift and reducing downtime for recharging.
Industrial drones carrying heavy LiDAR or multispectral camera equipment for mapping often struggle with short flight times. Silicon batteries provide the high specific energy (350–450 Wh/kg) needed to keep these heavy, sensor-laden platforms airborne long enough to map large areas in a single mission, rather than requiring multiple landings to swap batteries.
Consumer Electronics
Wearables & Smartwatches
Devices like smartwatches and fitness trackers have extremely limited internal space. Silicon anodes allow manufacturers to increase battery capacity without making the device bulkier, enabling power-hungry features like continuous health monitoring and cellular connectivity.
XR/VR Headsets
For virtual and extended reality headsets, minimizing weight on the user's head is crucial for comfort. Silicon batteries can provide the necessary high energy density to run complex displays and processors while keeping the headset lightweight.
Smartphones
New "AI-native" smartphones require significant power for on-device processing. Silicon anodes help extend battery life to handle these intense computational loads without increasing the phone's thickness.
