HPQ Silicon Inc., a technology company specializing in green engineering of silica and silicon-based materials, is pleased to update shareholders on the latest battery milestones achieved by its France-based affiliate, NOVACIUM SAS.
This latest update confirms the ongoing positive trend observed since the start of the charge-discharge cycle tests on Lithium-ion 18650 batteries made using a blend of graphite and Novacium’s GEN3 silicon-based anode material. The tests demonstrate an approximate 39% overall capacity improvement compared to the graphite benchmark after 150 cycles under conditions simulating real-world usage [2]. Additionally, after 150 cycles, the battery performance is 30% higher than the previous GEN1 material and 16% higher than that of the GEN2 material, with a 2% capacity degradation compared to the graphite benchmark 1% capacity degradation.
“These results continue to confirm our unique position as one of the only producers of advanced silicon anode material that can deliver superior 18650 high-performance batteries,” said Dr. Jed Kraiem, COO of Novacium. “The ability to get these results with our proprietary silicon material under real-world conditions further validates our capabilities and expertise in the domain.”
