Silicon can store far more energy than graphite—the material used in the anode, or negatively charged end, of nearly all lithium-ion batteries. Silicon-dominant anodes are used in niche applications, such as BAE’s drone, but so far their high cost has kept them out of electric cars, a much larger market.
Silicon promises longer-range, faster-charging and more-affordable EVs than those whose batteries feature today’s graphite anodes. It not only soaks up more lithium ions, it also shuttles them across the battery’s membrane faster. And as the most abundant metal in Earth’s crust, it should be cheaper and less susceptible to supply-chain issues.
Silicon has been researched for almost 30 years at the Institute for Materials Science in Kiel. The findings from this research, along with RENA Technologies GmbH's silicon experience from solar technology, should contribute to producing battery anodes made from 100% silicon.
