— Industry Challenges & Solutions
Breaking graphite capacity limits and solving silicon-anode engineering challenges
Conventional graphite anodes are limited to a theoretical capacity of 372 mAh/g, creating a key barrier to longer range. Commercial silicon anodes must also address volume expansion, unstable solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) layers and low conductivity.
Engineering challenges
Our solutions
01 Volume expansion Silicon particles can expand by roughly 300% during lithiation, creating a risk of structural fracture.
02 Unstable SEI Repeated expansion can fracture the solid-electrolyte interphase and consume active lithium and electrolyte.
03 Low conductivity Silicon’s intrinsic conductivity is far lower than graphite, limiting rate performance.
