Following the previous successful integration of NEO's silicon (Si) nanocoating technology in Si nanoparticles ranging from 50 nm to 100 nm, Dr.
Cost Advantage of Metallurgical-Grade Silicon Microparticles
Despite retaining more than a 10 times higher specific capacity than graphite, Si material easily loses its energy retention and storage capacity due to high volume expansion and particle pulverization after minimal charging cycles. Nanosized Si could minimize its gradation pathway and partially solve this shorter life cycle problem, but the expensive cost of Si nanoparticles serves as a major bottleneck and issue for battery manufacturers and electric vehicle (EV) companies.
Due to more efficient process times and lean, inexpensive manufacturing environments, metallurgical-grade Si microparticles are highly cost-effective compared to Si nanoparticles, but performance issues at the microparticle level have hindered the widespread adoption.
'NEO is hence targeting on a two-track to develop and refine its technology on both Si microparticles and nanoparticles. The results shown in this test emphasize the potency of NEO's Si nanocoating technology that can be applied to silicon with various particle sizes. Our technology's flexibility of application, performance, and price competitiveness serve as the most crucial value propositions,' commented
