Solidion files multiple patent applications on
a new process to produce graphene ball-hosted silicon anode
materials
DALLAS, Feb. 11,
2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Solidion Technology, Inc.
(NASDAQ: STI), an advanced battery technology solutions provider,
today announced that its technical team has filed several US patent
applications on an innovative process for cost-effective production
of graphene-hosted silicon as a high-capacity anode material.
Industry-leading EV OEMs have concluded that silicon anode is
required to drive EV battery technology to a lower cost and provide
a higher energy density, significantly extending the EV driving
range. Specifically, silicon (Si) is a leading-edge anode material
capable of extending the EV range by 20-40%.
One of globally leading silicon anode materials is produced from
chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of Si in pores of highly porous
carbon particles. This technology has several major drawbacks, due
to the use of a silane gas-based feedstock, which is known to be
scarce, highly explosive, costly and challenging to produce,
transport, and store. Additionally, current porous carbon particles
are incapable of accepting more than 50% of silane-derived Si in
their pores, a feature which significantly compromises the
achievable cell energy density.
Solidion's patent-pending Si anode technology overcomes these
technical and economical obstacles by using an innovative
combination of two strategies: (1) well-designed porous graphene
balls that can readily accommodate up to 90% Si in the graphene/Si
composite and (2) A low-cost silane-free precursor to Si will be
much safer to produce, store and transport than silane and can be
more cost-effectively converted into Si.
