- Testing results at 50 cycles of GEN2 material show an overall capacity improvement of approximately 30% compared to the graphite benchmark and 14% better compared to Gen 1 material, without any noticeable cycle degradation [1].
“These results continue to showcase our ability to produce a blend of graphite and advanced silicon anode material that can be seamlessly integrated into existing anode manufacturing facilities, improving overall battery performance,” stated Dr.
UNLOCKING ENHANCED BATTERY PERFORMANCE WITH SILICON BASE ANODE MATERIALS
Figure 1) The blue line shows average capacity of 100% graphite batteries, the orange line shows average capacity of GEN1 batteries, and the green line shows average capacity of GEN 2, all measured in milliampere-hours (mAh) [1]
The figure above illustrates the progression in battery capacity over 50 cycles. The blue line represents the average capacity of three (3) 18650 batteries with 100% graphite at around 2,775 mAh. The orange line shows the average capacity of three (3) 18650 batteries using Novacium GEN1 materials at around 3,174 mAh. Finally, the green line depicts the average capacity of three (3) 18650 batteries using Novacium GEN2 materials at around 3,379 mAh.
These results indicate that during the first 50-cycle test, the batteries made with Novacium non-optimized GEN2 materials continue to show approximately a 30% improvement compared to the graphite benchmark and about a 14% improvement compared to the batteries made with Novacium GEN1 materials.
DELIVERING MINIMAL BATTERY DEGRADATION AT 50 CYCLES
Figure 2) The blue line shows the relative capacity of 100% graphite batteries, the orange line shows the relative capacity of GEN1 batteries, and the green line shows relative capacity of GEN 2, over 50 cycles [1].
Results from Figure 2 continue to demonstrate a minimal increase (about 1%) in measurable cycle degradation during the first 50 cycles. The blue line represents the average relative capacity of three (3) 18650 batteries with 100% graphite; the orange line shows the average relative capacity of three (3) 18650 batteries made using Novacium GEN1 materials, and the green line depicts the average relative capacity of three (3) 18650 batteries using Novacium GEN2 materials.
“Novacium’s non-optimized second-generation engineered silicon anode material continues to deliver results that surpass those obtained with Novacium GEN1 materials. These promising results have real-world applications,” stated Mr.
