Yes! Pure silicon anodes from LeydenJar can be integrated with almost any lithium-ion battery that exists today. Our anode works with off-the-shelf cathodes and electrolytes. They’re also compatible with current cell assembly lines and suitable for mass production. The anode foil can feed directly into a cell manufacturer’s cutting and stacking process.

Frequently Asked Questions About Silicon Anodes
Pure silicon anodes can store the same amount of energy using much thinner layers. This results in increased energy density, improved charging rates, and decreased material usage compared to graphite anodes.
Silicon anodes from LeydenJar are fully compatible with current battery production processes. In addition, moving away from graphite anodes to LeydenJar silicon anodes simplifies existing production processes by eliminating wet slurry coating and replacing it with a plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) process. This dry production process is more scalable, consumes less energy, and uses fewer scarce material inputs.
Silicon swells while charging, which normally prevents silicon from being used in batteries. LeydenJar’s silicon anodes are produced with a PECVD process that forms porous columns on the copper substrate. This limits silicon swelling and makes durable, high-performing silicon anodes a reality.
LeydenJar’s silicon anodes last longer than other silicon anode designs. They are designed with an improved nanostructure that limits swelling and prevents delamination. This eliminates the main failure mechanisms of silicon anodes and increases cycle life to 500 cycles at 80% capacity retention and 700 cycles at 70% capacity retention.
Yes. LeydenJar’s silicon anodes have been tested with NMC, LFP, and LCO cathodes and have been proven to work with all of them. They also work with a wide variety of electrolytes and cell designs, making them a perfect fit for almost any type of battery cell.
1350 Wh/L or 390 Wh/kg (nominal stack level energy density).
Yes. Silicon anodes can produce benefits in any application where Li-ion batteries are currently used. They currently provide the most value in applications that require high energy density. These include wearables, smart devices, and e-mobility.
Yes, 100% — no graphite, no binders, and no additives. We create the only pure silicon anode that can be used in mobile device applications without clamping pressure.
