MPSC Silicon Anode Symposium

Silicon anode technology plays a pivotal role in addressing two key Department of Defense (DoD) battery priorities: building a robust domestic supply chain and advancing technologies that can replace current lithium-ion batteries. While silicon anode batteries offer the potential for significantly higher energy density, they also present critical safety challenges that must be resolved.

To tackle these challenges, the MPSC is continuing its collaborative forum with a meeting scheduled for February 13th. The forum will focus on:

• Improving the safety and reliability of silicon Li-ion cells,
• Sharing data, research findings, and key progress updates,
• Establishing goals and strategies for the year ahead.

We look forward to active participation from government representatives, who will share critical insights into targets and requirements for future silicon Li-ion chemistries. Key areas of discussion will include advancements in fast-charging capabilities, higher energy density solutions, enhanced low-temperature performance, and adherence to rigorous safety standards.

This forum aims to drive collaboration, innovation, and progress in addressing the challenges and unlocking the potential of silicon anode technology for next-generation energy solutions.
