HPQ and Apollon Solar Strengthen Collaboration to Focus on Porous Silicon for Solid-state Lithium-ion Battery

Concurrently, HPQ is also working with industry leader Apollon Solar to develop a manufacturing capability that uses the High Purity Silicon (Si) made with the PUREVAP™ to make Porous silicon wafers needed for solid-state Li-ion batteries.  The first Silicon wafer should be ready to be ship for testing to a battery manufacture (under NDA) during Q1 2020.

All in all, HPQ focus is becoming the lowest cost producer of Silicon Metal (Si), High Purity Silicon Metal (Si), Spherical Si nano-powders for Next Gen Li-ion batteries, Porous Silicon Wafers for Solid states Li-ion batteries, Porous Silicon Powders for Li-ion batteries and Solar Grade Silicon Metal (SoG-Si).

HPQ Partner Apollon Solar Delivers First Batch of Carbon Coated Nano Silicon Powders to INRS for Evaluation 

HPQ is also working with industry leader Apollon Solar of France to:

• Use their patented process and develop a capability to produce commercially porous silicon (Si) wafers and porous silicon (Si) powders.
  
  •  The collaboration will allow HPQ to become the lowest cost producer of porous silicon wafers for all solid-state batteries and porous silicon powders for Li-ion batteries.
  
  •  Develop the hydrogen generation potential of Silicon nanopowders for use with the Gennao™ system.
  
  •  Commercialize, exclusively in Canada, and non-exclusive in the U.S.A., the Gennao™ H₂ system and the chemical powders required for the hydrolysis production of Hydrogen ("H2").

Ilika Technologies: Standing on the cusp of a revolution in solid-state battery technology

 

“The difference comes with the choice of materials and the design of the cells,” says Graeme Purdy. “Other players in the field of solid-state batteries have chosen to use lithium metal anodes, whereas we use a silicon anode. Some of our rivals use sulphur-based electrolytes, whereas we use a ceramic oxide. We come from a different starting point which has enabled us to develop robust, well-functioning miniature solid state batteries that we are scaling up for larger applications such as cars.”
