RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Does anyone brave enough to guess who HPQ is working with?Exactly welderkev, we have the nice spot in this field to supply all those trying to commercialize nanosillicone based products.. All of them will ne able to put all efforts in their products instead of in one of the ingredients... H2 generation, battery, medical (did see nanosilicone used to release drugs on the web), or whatever... We just have to build the high capacity plant and they will fight for wathever we can provide at our price which would be cheaper anyway than anybody else. We beat everybody at nanosillicone making by 5 years according to Bernard... Big manufavturer could try to buy the IP or license a right to produce with Purevap in their own plants..Royalties for years to come.

yes but I think they were the ones that started Hpq down this path. Possibly looking for a more efficient, cheaper way of producing their product? It's just my guess, I also remember Bernard saying something that made me believe Advano is the competition. Why can't they be both? Possibly they're the reason Hpq looked into recycling solar panels?

Instead of Amprius I think it's Advano and Sila. Advano is the company who asked the question "can we make it cheap enough to build trillions of batteries" which has been hpq's goal.
Pitpitcolisse wrote: He mentionned Sila and Amprius and theyre technologies. Amprius is using silane gas to make nanowires and in a interview said he received a call from someone using silane. I highly suspect both of them to be interested for receiving samples. Also Silion (bought by Tesla) works on sillicon anode and could be intersted in cheap nanoparticles or nanowires. They stated to have futur supply price expected to drop very soon... Coincidence? Maybe...

Have been trying to find clues for sometime but no luck....
Advano upcycles scrap, silicon waste from semiconductor or solar panel manufacturing, to create A-SiFx™, a finely engineered, scalable silicon solution that increases the energy density of li-ion batteries. By upcycling, Advano is able to sidestep the toxic silicon manufacturing process entirely, protecting both the environment and its engineers. https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/advano-delivers-scalable-advanced-silicon-solution-to-battery-industry-announcing-18-5-million-in-series-a-funding-300994346.html Advano has significant restrictions in their process unlike HPQ. Advano requires recycled high purity silicon, HPQ starts from quartz and carbon. I'd say Advano is the closest thing we can call a competitor, but does not have the capabilites PUREVAP has.
