Silicon makes up almost a third of the Earth's crust by mass and is the second most abundant element next to oxygen. It’s the holy grail of energy storage – at a fraction of the cost of graphite.
The catch is that metallurgical silicon anodes tend to swell and degrade quickly. Coreshell’s technology solves this problem.
Coreshell’s breakthrough technology acts both as an artificial SEI and as an encapsulant – reinforcing metallurgical silicon anodes during charge and discharge – while also preventing surface degradation.
Integrating a metallurgical silicon anode requires a cell-level solution. Coreshell has developed a comprehensive battery design that incorporates proprietary technology, binders, active materials, and electrolytes.
