BioSolar, Inc, a developer of breakthrough energy storage technology and materials, today emphasized the potential for its proprietary additive to improve all types of silicon anode materials, such as Si carbon composite, Si oxide type, and Si alloys, as the company continues to work with its international partners.
BioSolar believes its proprietary additive has a distinct competitive advantage in that the technology is more scalable than other silicon anode materials on the market.
BioSolar’s Si anode additive technology is designed to work with all types of silicon anodes, enabling the company’s Si anode material partner to supply various grades of silicon anode materials to a wide range of silicon anode technology users. By contrast, most Si anode technologies are designed for specific electrode designs, and thus are not scalable to other types of silicon anodes.
BioSolar’s additive technology has drawn attention from international manufacturers after demonstrating significant improvements in both battery capacity and capacity retention when applied to silicon (Si) anodes. These anodes, produced in combination with BioSolar technology, are made from Si micro particles, a form of raw silicon cheaper than Si nanoparticles. The lower cost is a financial gain for end user applications, ultimately driving adoption and revenue across the lithium ion battery supply chain.
“We are confident in the development and subsequent testing of our Si additive technology, that yielded promising results, clearly differentiating us from other products on the market,” said Dr. David Lee, CEO of BioSolar. “Our ability to scale and meet expectations for high performance battery manufacturing, while reducing cost to our partners, is what positions us for this next phase of growth, and hopefully commercial development.”
