Silicon has 10x Higher Capacity than Graphite

In a groundbreaking development that could transform the EV landscape, battery manufacturers are rapidly advancing the creation of silicon anode technology to reduce production costs and increase EV battery capacity by 20%, taking a bold step towards a sustainable future.

Silicon anode batteries promise a substantial improvement in energy storage capacity compared to traditional lithium-ion batteries.

With a theoretical capacity of 4,200 mAh/g, silicon has over ten times the storage capacity of graphite, the main material in EV battery anodes currently.
