At NorcSi, we’re taking an innovative leap by developing pure silicon anodes through Flash Lamp Annealing (FLA). This breakthrough process offers several distinct advantages over traditional silicon-graphite or silicon-carbon composite methods:   1.      Maximized Energy Capacity: By utilizing pure silicon, we’re unlocking significantly higher energy density compared to composites. This means longer-lasting batteries and more range for electric vehicles.   2.      Streamlined Production and Material Efficiency: High-temperature flash annealing enables a simplified production process with fewer material combinations, reducing complexity and potential points of failure in manufacturing.   3.      Enhanced Structural Stability: Our flash annealing approach rapidly crystallizes silicon, improving the material’s resilience and mitigating the common issue of volume expansion during charge cycles—paving the way for improved cycle life.   With this cutting-edge innovation, we are setting a new standard for next-generation anode technology, delivering more powerful, cost-effective, and sustainable battery solutions.   #BatteryInnovation #SiliconAnode #FlashAnnealing #Electromobility #CleanEnergy

📢 We are thrilled to share an exciting report by Steffen Höhne from Mitteldeutsche Zeitung. He visited our facilities in Halle and wrote about our progress towards the first industrial-scale production of pure silicon anodes.   🔋📈 Even though new “miracle batteries” are reported frequently, our experience is that batteries are rather continuously improving. This process is occasionally sparked with groundbreaking technological advancements. At NorcSi, we have found a way to replace graphite with silicon in the production of anodes, which offers a huge leap in battery capacity. As our CEO, Udo Reichmann, states, "Through our technology, electric vehicles should be able to achieve a range of 1,200 to 1,800 kilometers per charge."   🔎📰 Read the full article to learn more about how we're leading the race to extend EV range: https://lnkd.in/dxeXHY6N #batterytechnology #emobility #futureisnow

As part of the E-Mobility Innovation Podcast, Simon Voss spoke to Dr. Jens Katzek about the important work of transformation alliances between industry and research like the TraWeBa = Transformations-Hub Wertschöpfungskette Batterie. In the technological race towards better batteries, there are many materials-related challenges to overcome. We are delighted that our innovative process for the mass production of high-performance anodes from silicon instead of graphite was highlighted as a prime example of battery innovation made in Germany.   An excellent scientific environment and the exchange of expertise with established manufacturers are important drivers for innovative companies to flourish.
