ENHANCING BATTERY PERFORMANCE WITH REALSi™
OUR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES:
ALL MATERIALS AND
PROCESSES ARE PATENTED
Advano’s REALSi, a “drop-in” silicon anode material technology backed by 25+ patents, offers fine tuning to unique customer specification.
Allowing for tailored solutions to meet diverse battery requirements. This flexibility enables us to quickly innovate and enhance our materials for unique battery eco-systems.
Silicon undergoes significant volume changes during charging and discharging cycles, leading to mechanical stress, electrode degradation, and loss of electrical contact. The engineered 3D secondary structure mitigates these issues by providing a porous, conductive architecture that accommodates the volume changes while maintaining structural integrity and electrical conductivity.
Our materials leverage a “surface functionalization” platform that not only enables 3D architecting and surface protection, but also ensures compatibility with polymer and solid electrolyte.
We engineer our materials to accommodate silicon swelling and optimize the material composition to widen the operational voltage window of silicon. This results in batteries with improved cycle performance and superior charge rate capability.
Silicon anodes degrade quickly due to the electrode volume changes during lithiation, imposing significant strain on the material with each cycle. Achieving cycle stability requires addressing both the internal and external effects of lithiation on silicon metal. ADVANO’s proprietary REALSi™ material enables steady rate performance, high areal mass loading, and desired cycle stability.
