High energy lithium ion batteries can have silicon anodes that can be made bigger or smaller.
Batteries are used almost every day in almost everything we use. Batteries will affect almost every part of our lives, from the phones and computers we use to the cars we drive. To stop climate change, we need to switch to mostly electric cars and renewable energy sources within the next 10 years. The key to both is being able to store energy quickly and safely, and to store enough energy for hundreds of miles of range or hours without wind or sunlight. The goal of the GDI solution is to make fast-charging energy storage technologies that can be charged in 15 minutes and have 30% more energy so that more renewable energy, public transportation, and electric mobility can be used. Also, a Lithium-Ion NMC battery with a GDI silicon-based anode is estimated to have a GHG footprint of 92.5 kgCO2e per kWh, which is 21% less than traditional Li-Ion NMC batteries. GDI’s goal is to create clean technologies that can be used in large quantities at good prices.
Positive facts about Ultracapacitors & Silicon Li-ion anodes
Potential energy density of 400Wh/kg, increasing runtime or vehicle range by 30% compared to todays Li-ion batteries,
Produced using traditional thin film PV equipment, could scale to Gigawatt scale more rapidly then solid state or other silicon technologies for Li-ion batteries
3x faster charging would enable higher % utilization of devices, products, or vehicles using these batteries and accelerate the adoption of EVs, as 15 min. charging is the last frontier to convert ICE vehicle users to EV
301 Mega tonnes of CO2e could be avoided during the next 10 years with higher EV market adoption scenarios, through commercialisation of 15 minute high energy dense Silicon based Li-ion batteries that can increase vehicle range or device runtime by 30%
GHGs emissions of manufacturing of Li-ion batteries are 21% lower on average than traditional Li-Ion NMC batteries with GDI advanced electrodes
Silicon anodes will be more readily recyclable than current graphite based anodes in Li-ion batteries
30-50% Lower Cost vs. other high silicon and solid-state Li-ion anodes
40% Lower CAPEX per GWh compared with conventional Li-ion anodes per kWH and Gigawatt hour of capacity
Faster charging and higher energy will increase utilization of the device, vehicle, service, or grid storage
