WE NEED BETTER BATTERIES!
The largest component of many electronic
devices and a wide variety of cordless power
applications
The worst performing component
The main limitation when it comes to usability
Batteries consist of an anode, a cathode and
an electrolyte. The key to building a better
battery is a better anode.

*Compared to existing commercial graphite anodes
Better Performance:
1. 4x-5x energy capacity, excellent power density.
2. Up to 1000 cycles of lifetime.
3. Fully recyclable and safe.
Cheaper, Faster Manufacturing:
1. Eliminates the use of carbon, binders, solvents
and water.
2. Lower capital expenditure, manufacturing does
not require dry rooms, calendering machines or
drying lines.
3. Manufacturing footprint reduced.
Other Advantages:
1. Compatible with all lithium ion battery formats.
2. Existing anode line can be repurposed for more
cathodes.
3. Required tooling is easily scaled to produce
millions of anodes per year.
