Green14 in Sweden, a plasma-silicon startup, said that his silicon-based anodia material is being tested by the battery group at Rise, the national research organization of Sweden.
Green14 in Sweden, a hydrogen-plasma-silicon startup, announced tests of his silicone-based anodia material at Rise, the National Research Organization of Sweden.
The battery team at Rise received the first party on silicone-based anodia material produced by Green14’s new hydrogen plasma pilot reactor installed on the KTH Royal Institute of Technology.
“Silicium anodes offer a step change in the performance of the lithium ion battery, making a considerably higher energy density, extensive device competitions and increased driving ranges for electric vehicles,” said Adam Podgorski PV Magazine.
After testing, the next step that Rise produces a mint cell is a small, round test battery over the size of a watch battery, to evaluate the real-world performance of the Green14 material. “Our ambition at Green14 is to deliver green, low -carbon and cost -competitive silicon materials to these innovators, with only quartz and hydrogen as raw materials,” said Podgorski.
Podgorski said that different manufacturers explore silicon to unlock the battery performance of the next generation, together with specialists, such as Amprius and Sila Nanotechnologies, Among other things.
Silicon and Silaan from Green14 100 kW Plasma reactor has the capacity to produce 5 kg/h high pure silicon or the same amount of Silaan.
Founded in 2021, it follows a technology license strategy, according to Podgorski. It has adapted the development for the Solar PV and Battery industry, but there is potential to be active in a wider range of value chains with metal processing.
“Our plasma metallization platform is very adaptable, which means that production is not only possible from silicon and silan for energy applications, but also of high-quality metals, including titanium, tungsten, vanadium and rare earth elements,” he said that the potential for decarbonisation of critical industrial applications.
