The future is silicon. Anodes must improve and silicon has the most potential. Nano-scale silicon provides the best combination of capacity and power, but still not sufficient cycle life and nano-scale production approaches remain expensive. Group14 has applied deep materials research experience to develop a new, low-cost approach to nano-scale silicon production. Our nano-scale silicon has high purity, high capacity, good power, and good cycle life. We use its unique high performance carbon engineering abilities to create cohesive silicon-carbon nanocomposites that dramatically outperform traditional carbon coated silicons.
