FUELING PROGRESS
Advancing Energy & Power Cells Worldwide
Industry challenge
Silicon oxide achieved market adoption a decade ago, but pain points limit its benefits and addition.
Irreversible 1st-cycle loss
High-cost production processes
High swelling limits anode incorporation
No U.S. sources
NanoGraf solution
NanoGraf has developed a proprietary metal-doped SiOx composition and low-cost coating, providing a solution to first-generation challenges.
High 1st-cycle efficiency
Low-cost production and raw materials
Suppressed swelling enables high blends
100% U.S. owned
OUR COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE
Solving first-generation commercial SiOx pain points
-
Proprietary surface and core-particular compositions provide a solution to traditional SEI and high irreversible capacity loss challenges
-
Our products have been designed with scalability in mind. Conventional processes and compositions replace costly vapor deposition techniques
-
NanoGraf silicon anodes have lower volumetric changes during charge and discharge, resulting in a more stable electroactive material. Our technology minimizes the deleterious effects of particulate fracture and unwanted calendar life degradation
Empowered by US advanced manufacturing, we are paving the way towards a robust and secure US supply chain.
DROP-IN SOLUTION
Drop-In Manufacturing NanoGraf silicon anodes drop into existing production equipment and processes
Material Compatibility Our product is also compatible with conventional cathode and electrolyte chemistries
HISTORICAL PERFORMANCE OF 18650 CELLS
(1992-2024)
Funded and designed to meet military directives, NanoGraf 3.8Ah 18650 demonstrates a superior energy & power value proposition over 3.5 Ah 18650 cells
Enables +800 Wh/L 18650
NanoGraf aims to become the premier producer of domestic silicon anodes, driving differentiation from the battlefield to US highways.
Technology in Action
“NanoGraf’s battery technology can be used in the same batteries that power cars, laptops and your cell phone. The main difference is that your device can last up to 50 percent longer on a single charge.”
— Dr. Kurt (Chip) Breitenkamp, NanoGraf President
