Nexeon | Silicon anode Li-ion battery technology

Nexeon has patented a unique way of structuring silicon so that it delivers extended cycle life and significantly increases battery capacity.

In contrast to carbon, Nexeon’s silicon anode materials have a much higher capacity for lithium and as a result are capable of almost ten times the energy capacity per gram (mAh/g).

Silicon anode lithium-ion batteries allow for greater energy storage capacity and/or smaller battery size, or for greater battery life between charges.

As well as increasing capacity, Nexeon’s technology reduces the amount of material used in the Li-ion battery, providing key advantages to manufacturers of a range of consumer goods.

Nexeon now boasts a fully automated and instrumented pilot plant, producing sufficient material to make high volumes of cells per day and with a good understanding of the cost involved.
