Lithium-sulfur cathode developer Xponential Battery Materials (XBM) and silicon-carbon anode developer SiCAM Technologies have formed a technology collaboration to develop a silicon-sulfur battery materials platform for US battery OEMs.
The platform will pair SiCAM’s silicon-carbon (Si-C) anode material with XBM’s lithium-sulfur (Li-S) cathode materials and cell technologies.
The companies say silicon-sulfur batteries have substantially higher theoretical energy density than conventional lithium-ion batteries. Silicon is the second most abundant element in the Earth’s crust, and sulfur is a byproduct of US petroleum refining.
