BioSolar, Inc. highlighted the potential impact of its silicon anode additive technology. This new technology may enable widespread commercialization of Silicon (Si) anodes made from lower cost Si micro-particle materials, as opposed to Si-nano-particles, to fill the need for advanced batteries in many emerging market sectors. The industry standard for Si anodes currently uses Si nano-particles, but the difficulty of manufacturing raw Si nano-particle materials remains a costly challenge. In contrast, Si micro-particles are easier to manufacture at a significantly lower cost. Unfortunately, anodes made from Si micro-particles are more prone to damage during battery charging and discharging due to volume expansion, thus not yet commercially viable. BioSolar innovative additive technology is designed to solve this problem.
