Sila Nanotechnologies, Inc. is an American battery manufacturer that produces lithium–silicon batteries using nanoengineered silicon particles. [1] [2] The company creates battery materials to replace traditional graphite anodes with a silicon-dominant composite material to increase energy density. [3] [4] The company is based in California. [5]
The companies will enter a binding agreement to jointly develop a battery anode supply chain in Vietnam with further options for certain financing, investments and product offtake agreements.
The facility will be capable of building 100 GWh of batteries annually, enough for 1.5 million light duty vehicles. [108] In March 2023, the state of Nevada approved a new package of tax incentives for Tesla worth more than $330 million, in exchange for Tesla investing $3.6 billion over 10 years in the expansion project.
Carbon anodes are traditionally used because of lithium's ability to intercalate without unacceptable volumetric expansion. The latter damages the battery and reduces the amount of lithium available for charging. Reduced intercalation limits capacity. Carbon based anodes have a gravimetric capacity of 372 mAh/g for LiC 6.

As manufacturing scales up, the facility will expand and create training and job opportunities throughout Southern California. Equatic will incorporate OSAs into Equatic-1, the upcoming demonstration-scale plant in Singapore and the first commercial-scale plant in Quebec —a facility capable of removing 109,500 tonnes of CO2 and generating ...
A solid-state silicon battery or silicon-anode all-solid-state battery is a type of rechargeable lithium-ion battery consisting of a solid electrolyte, solid cathode, and silicon-based solid anode. [1] [2] In solid-state silicon batteries, lithium ions travel through a solid electrolyte from a positive cathode to a negative silicon anode. While ...
A metal–air electrochemical cell is an electrochemical cell that uses an anode made from pure metal and an external cathode of ambient air, typically with an aqueous or aprotic electrolyte. [1] [2] During discharging of a metal–air electrochemical cell, a reduction reaction occurs in the ambient air cathode while the metal anode is oxidized.
The fire erupted at the facility around 3 p.m. Thursday, and evacuation orders were issued around 6:30 p.m. due to concerns over hazardous materials and potential chemical releases, Rosas said ...
