Great posts by cargo regarding Si relevance in EV Batteries

Great dd by Cargo:

@cargo Electric Vehicle Batteries Could Get Big Boost With New Polymer Coating. $HPQ https://newscenter.lbl.gov/2023/03/07/ev-batteries-new-polymer-coating/ Sure seems like the EV industry is moving towards increasing the silicon content in batteries to replace graphite. Interesting that the DOE and Toyota funded this project.

@cargo Another recent development with Solid State Batteries with a silicon anode. Umicore who also has ties with Volkswagen (PowerCo) who recently announced a EV battery cell production plant in Ontario. $HPQ https://www.greencarcongress.com/2023/03/20230331-umicore.html Blue Current also utilizes a polymer coating along with the ionic conductivity of glass ceramics to develop a propietary “silicon elastic composite” battery technology. https://bluecurrent.com/

@cargo Another recent development utilizing a polymer coating with silicon:) posted on SH by Catch73. https://www.inceptivemind.com/new-battery-technology-boost-ev-range-least-ten-fold/30137/

@cargo Another good read on the future of lithium based batteries. $HPQ https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-023-35933-2 lots of info on silicon anodes, plus I found this tidbit very interesting on how magnesium can be used as a substitute for lithium with silicon oxide:) "Companies such as Umicore (109) have been developing the technology for over ten years. Umicore claims that the next steps include the “activation” of SiOx using lithium or magnesium to increase initial cycle efficiency" Magnesium in batteries: A sustainable alternative to lithium https://www.innovationnewsnetwork.com/magnesium-in-batteries-sustainable-alternative-lithium/22063/

Now all they got to do is go into production and make some!

Nope. First they have to complete validation and testing.

No it is NOT! They are still setting up and got 2N 99% purity that was delightful surprise as they weren't not guaging for purity. Bernard said next steps are now focusing on purity which are confident on 3-4N. Long and strong HPQ!!!!!!!!!
