NanoXplore's proprietary silicon graphene technology (SiG™) produced in the pilot line, has achieved an energy density of 1150 Wh/L, and demonstrated compatibility with conventional graphite anodes.
MONTREAL — NanoXplore Inc., a graphene company, announces the successful commissioning of two anode material pilot lines, achieving energy density and product validation. This marks a milestone in NanoXplore’s ongoing commitment to advancing sustainable energy storage solutions.
NanoXplore’s proprietary silicon graphene technology (SiG™) produced in the pilot line, has achieved an energy density of 1150 Wh/L, and demonstrated compatibility with conventional graphite anodes, resulting in an energy density of over 800 Wh/L. NanoXplore remains dedicated to pushing the boundaries of energy storage capabilities using its advanced materials technology. The SiG™ family is supported by 11 patents which cover a range of different chemistries and extend to all cylindrical cell form factors.
The commissioning of SiG™ pilot line was completed in September 2023, marking a timely achievement in line with its strategic goals. The current commissioned capacity is 100 tons per year. The anode material has been successfully validated in 21700 cylindrical cells further emphasizing the adaptability and compatibility of the technology with established cell form-factors.
The commissioning of the CSPG pilot line is now completed and can operate with a capacity of 200 tons per year.
NanoXplore’s CEO, Soroush Nazarpour, expressed enthusiasm about these successes: “As we mark the commissioning and validation of our two anode material pilot lines, I would like to underscore NanoXplore’s dedication to innovation in the battery space and commitment to delivering cost-competitive, and high-performance solutions that redefine the energy storage landscape. The outstanding energy density achieved with our silicon graphene technology demonstrates the transformative potential of our advancements. With our CSPG products, we are committed to offering diverse, tailored solutions to meet our customers’ evolving needs. Both these materials are currently being used in VoltaXplore’s batteries and are important technology differentiators for VoltaXplore’s business and its upcoming gigafactory.”
