Report finds OneD’s silicon anode technology can reduce EV battery carbon footprint

Minviro, which provides lifecycle assessments (LCAs) for businesses in the energy transition, has found that the SINANODE silicon anode technology developed by OneD Battery Sciences for EV batteries can reduce carbon emissions and resource consumption compared to conventional anode materials. When SINANODE-enhanced graphite is processed in North America or Europe, it can improve anode performance… Read more »

NanoGraf’s Onyx EV-ready silicon anode boasts cost parity with synthetic graphite

US-based silicon oxide anode material producer NanoGraf has announced the release of Onyx, “an EV-ready silicon anode material that delivers dramatically improved lithium-ion battery performance at cost parity with synthetic graphite anodes.” “Designed to deliver peak performance at a lower price point than other available silicon anode options, Onyx is drop-in ready today, and is… Read more »

Researchers develop mechanically robust nanocellular graphene for sodium-ion batteries

Researchers at Tohoku University in Japan have discovered a means to achieve crack-free, robust nanocellular graphene (NCG) to use in a sodium-ion battery (SIB). NCG is a specialized form of graphene that achieves a large specific surface area by stacking multiple layers of graphene and controlling its internal structure with a nanoscale cellular morphology. However,… Read more »

OneD and Koch Modular partner to produce silicon-graphite anode materials for EV batteries

OneD Battery Sciences, a nanotechnology startup, and Koch Modular Process Systems, a process engineering design and modular construction company, have announced a strategic partnership to mass-produce silicon-graphite anode materials for EVs. Koch Modular’s silane gas manufacturing expertise and OneD’s SINANODE technology transform silane into nano-silicon in EV cell-qualified graphite anodes. This partnership will process and… Read more »

NEO Battery Materials develops a uniform nanocoating manufacturing technique

NEO Battery Materials, a silicon anode material manufacturer, has created a nanocoating manufacturing technique with its patented NBMSiDE silicon anode materials. NEO can create uniform nanocoating layers from uniformly-coated silicon particles to improve NBMSiDE’s performance. NBMSiDE capacity retention was previously poor due to the mechanical degradation of non-uniform coatings. NEO says that this uniform nanocoating… Read more »

NanoGraf raises $65 million in Series B financing to scale production of silicon anode products

Battery materials company NanoGraf has raised $65 million in a Series B funding round that was co-led by Volta Energy Technologies and CC Industries. NanoGraf had previously raised a total of $27 million from a mix of funding sources. NanoGraf’s technology enables battery-makers to incorporate more silicon into their anodes. Current EV battery anodes are… Read more »

How NanoGraf is commercializing the “world’s most energy-dense” 18650 battery cell with stable silicon oxide

Q&A with NanoGraf COO Connor Hund Graphite, a pure form of carbon, is a critical material for battery anodes. Graphite’s physical structure allows it to store lithium ions, which merrily migrate to the anode when the battery is charged. Unlike cathodes, which can be composed of various combinations of chemicals (cobalt, nickel, manganese, lithium, iron,… Read more »

OneD raises $25 million in Series C funds, enters R&D agreement with GM

GM and OneD Battery Sciences will cooperate to research the possible use of OneD’s silicon nanotechnology in GM’s Ultium cells. Meanwhile, OneD has raised $25 million in Series C funding from investors including GM Ventures and Volta Energy Technologies. “Given a licensing business model and low operational costs, Series C funds will be used to… Read more »
