MADRID—Ferroglobe P.L.C., the largest producer of refined silicon metal in the western hemisphere, has developed a high-purity silicon metal powder for use in battery anodes and other advanced ...

A small Dutch company, E-magy, that specializes in designing and manufacturing porous silicon technologies is now working on creating a new silicon-based lithium-ion battery that would increase EV ...

Stir this silicon-based powder into water, and hydrogen will bubble out, ready for immediate use. Hong Kong company EPRO Advance Technology (EAT) says its Si+ powder offers an instant end to the ...

Scientists led by the Kunming University of Science and Technology in China have proposed to reuse silicon from discarded solar cells to develop silicon-carbon composite anode materials that could be ...

Panasonic is collaborating with Sila Nanotechnologies, a California-based company co-founded by Tesla’s seventh employee, to improve lithium-ion battery anodes for electric vehicles (EVs). This new ...

Researchers in India have demonstrated a wet chemical process to recover silicon with high purity from end-of-life solar panels, which they used to make functionalized silica nanoparticles. Tests of ...

NanoGraf, a Chicago-based start-up, says its silicon anode will enable “the world’s most energy-dense cylindrical 18650 cell,” with much higher run time than is possible with traditional cell ...

Each EV requires several bags of powder, though it depends on whether they blend it with graphite, maybe 10-15%, or create a 100% silicon anode. More silicon means higher price and performance, but ...
