CHICAGO, Oct. 20, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — NanoGraf, a sophisticated battery supplies firm and enabler of the world’s most energy-dense 18650 lithium-ion cell, at present introduced it has achieved a brand new business milestone for power density in an 18650 battery kind issue at 810 Wh/L (4.0Ah capability).
The 4.0Ah cell leverages NanoGraf’s proprietary silicon-anode materials in a standard kind issue, enabling vital enhancements in run-time throughout a variety of functions, together with client electronics, army functions, medical gadgets, and electrical automobiles. The elevated stability and extremely scalable nature of NanoGraf’s silicon-anode cell solves the ache factors of economic 1st era SiOx anodes, and it’s confirmed to be drop-in prepared for present cell designs and manufacturing processes.
“This energy density milestone is a significant breakthrough for the battery industry and an important benchmark in the adoption of the next generation of SiOx-based materials. Our materials continue to exceed customer expectations, as we march towards our goal of a 4.3Ah 18650 cell, a project we have undertaken on behalf of the U.S. Department of Defense,” stated Dr. Francis Wang, CEO of NanoGraf. “The 4.3Ah NanoGraf-branded cell will be the world’s most energy-dense 18650 cell and illustrates our commitment to meeting the energy and power demands of our customers.”
In addition to improved battery efficiency, NanoGraf’s silicon-anode and 18650 cell characterize a step ahead in establishing a home battery provide chain, a key directive of the Biden Administration to construct U.S. jobs, alleviate provide chain bottlenecks, and help a nationwide motion in the direction of automotive electrification.
“The Inflation Reduction Act calls for and supports the onshoring of key battery components in the U.S., and these historic opportunities are providing additional momentum around the adoption of upstream U.S. innovation like NanoGraf’s,” added Wang. “NanoGraf products are important commercial examples of how U.S. innovation can not only raise the bar on lithium-ion performance, but create U.S. jobs and promote national security.”
This information comes on the heels of two main bulletins for NanoGraf and the battery expertise business. In Spring of 2022, the corporate introduced it had been awarded a contract by the Department of Defense to supply a 4.3Ah cell for army functions, reaching an power density of 870Wh/L. In 2021, the corporate developed the world’s longest-running 3.8Ah 18650 cylindrical lithium-ion cell, at 800Wh/L. NanoGraf cells have met third occasion efficiency verification and have handed UN/UL testing to-date. NanoGraf is main the way in which on each battery efficiency and on-shored manufacturing fronts.
