Silicon-based lithium battery industrialization to accelerate the batteries capacity improvement

Source: 2020 - 03 - 25 clicks: 29 times in April this year, the us battery data company Sila Nano obtained by Daimler ( 戴姆勒公司(Daimler) , 8 vc and Siemens ( Siemens) Led by 1. 700 million dollars ( 1. 2 billion yuan) E of the round. The company also from Canada pension plan investment board ( 加拿大养老金计划投资委员会) Won the $45 million of new funding, make the total financing to 3. 400 million dollars, the valuation of more than 1 billion dollars to the company. In 2011, former tesla engineers JiEnBo di, and alex jacobs created Sila Nano company, focus on the development and commercial application of the next generation of cell data. Silicon as the main material of battery anode was developed series of products, designed to use the silicon instead of the traditional graphite electrode, improve the capacity of the battery. According to Sila Nano, according to these data can be lithium ion battery energy density increased by 20%, or 40%, and is used to a new generation of battery production, a new generation of battery with long life, low inflation rate and the characteristics of high energy density. In recent years, Sila Nano has been seeking financing, in order to develop silicon-based for electric vehicles and consumer goods lithium ion batteries. After get the $70 million financing, Sila Nano started construction in 2018 the first battery cable. The first line can produce lithium battery data of 50 mw, and to expand in the future. Sila Nano, said it plans next year to the first consumer electronics customers supply lithium battery. And ATL, BMW and Daimler, battery manufacturers and car manufacturers, will be the new silicon-based cathode for lithium battery to the market. People think, Silas Nano new data skills until at least 2025 years to be ready, because the auto maker is trying to demonstrate that, the company's battery skills meet its quality assurance standards.
