Commercialization of graphene-silicon lithium-ion batteries

by:CTECHi     2021-07-28

SiNodeSystems, a US-based developer of silicon graphene materials for lithium-ion batteries, and Tokyo-based specialty chemicals manufacturer JNC, will jointly establish a joint venture NanoGraf, dedicated to promoting graphene-silicon lithium-ion batteries and advanced Material commercialization, the joint venture has invested 4.5 million US dollars, SiNode will be renamed NanoGraf. NanoGraf's technology aims to improve the performance of battery materials using a proprietary graphene-coated silicon anode originally invented at Northwestern University. According to reports, the unique combination of a silicon-based alloy and a flexible 3D graphene network helps stabilize the active material during charging and discharging. NanoGraf material shows that it can increase battery energy and power density by up to 50%, and provide the best cycle life compared to similar products. According to reports, NanoGraf battery materials can be customized to achieve a capacity between 1000mAh/g and 2500mAh/g, providing higher battery-level energy density and faster charge-discharge efficiency for high-discharge applications. Nanograf uses a wet chemical process that is highly scalable and has been proven on a trial production line in Japan. The anode material is added to the existing electrode mixing and coating equipment, and is proven in large battery manufacturing facilities around the world. NanoGraf will use the new funds to expand the production scale of its silicon-graphene composite anode materials and continue to develop more material platforms. Through the cooperation agreement, NanoGraf will obtain production facilities in Japan, expanded global distribution channels, more than 50 patents and two research institutions. Our new company, NanoGraf, embodies our vision of creating material solutions that will change the battery industry. Thanks to our partnership with JNC Corporation, we are in a favorable position to accelerate growth as we commercialize our graphene packaging technology for various applications from consumer electronics to electric vehicles. With our new ton-scale factory, we can provide a larger quantity of materials to our growing customer base'. -NanoGraf co-founder and CEO Samir Mayekar said.
