While silicon is widely known to be an excellent choice for energy dense batteries, it also poses challenges in practical use due to the swelling that occurs in the silicon while charging the battery. LeydenJar is overcoming these issues and uses silicon to its full potential by using a proprietary plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) process to deposit a thin layer of silicon which results in a porous structure and strong bond
Our proprietary porous silicon structure accommodates volume expansion during cycling, enabling high silicon loading without compromising mechanical integrity.
A robust bond between silicon particles and the current collector maintains electrical connectivity throughout the cell lifetime, supporting stable performance at high energy density.

Battery lifetime estimation is based on the following assumptions:
Typical charging is estimated to be done from 20% state-of-charge to 100% state-of-charge at C/2 at the mentioned charging frequency, with the end-of-life defined as cell capacity decreasing to 70% of the original capacity: 700 cycles at 0%-100% charging pattern (performance data from LeydenJar cells), estimated to translate to >800 cycles at 20%-100% charging pattern.
