Research abstract
Navitas proposes a novel high capacity anode material based on reinforced microporous silicon alloy. The key innovation in this project is a process that produces a microporous silicon reinforced by a small weight fraction of electrochemically inert ceramic. The process is scalable and uses low-cost reactants and precursors. The ceramic both extends cycle life and enhances safety. The primary customer will be defense and civilian aircraft in which there is a premium value on battery weight, safety and total cost of ownership. Early adopters will include soldier portable, small unmanned aerial systems and consumer electronics manufacturers who put a premium value on weight or run-time and will accept modest cycle life.
