177. Unlocking Silicon's Full Potential to Further EV Adoption

Increasing EV battery performance while lowering cost? That’s the goal of OneD Battery Sciences. With a breakthrough technology known as SINANODE, the company is successfully adding more energy-dense silicon into the anodes of lithium-ion EV batteries to increase efficiency and affordability.
.
Why silicon? Because it can store ten times the energy of graphite alone—yet previous attempts to include more in the anode have failed due to expansion and breakage. By eliminating these issues, SINANODE unlocks silicon’s full potential to advance the production of competitive EVs that meet market demand. The company has even partnered with GM for joint R&D of silicon anode technology for more efficient EV batteries.
.
To learn more about this ground-breaking technology, we sat down with Vincent Pluvinage, PhD, CEO and Co-founder, OneD Battery Sciences, to discuss the current state of EV battery production and how SINANODE can further EV adoption.
