HPQ Silicon "World-Class" Battery Results Beat Samsung, Panasonic, and LG

KEY PERFORMANCE AND MILESTONESExceptional Longevity: GEN3 batteries maintain82% capacity at 900 cycles, compared to 70% for Panasonic’s NCR18650GA after just 300 cycles.Higher Energy Output: GEN3 batteries delivereda 31% cumulative energy gain over graphite-based benchmarks, signaling a major efficiency breakthrough.Seamless Integration: The advanced silicon-anode material blends with high-grade artificial graphite, ensuring compatibility with existing battery manufacturing lines (18650, 21700, 26650, and 4680 formats).BREAKTHROUGH TECHNOLOGY SURPASSES INDUSTRY LEADERSHPQ Silicon Inc. $HPQ / $HPQFF and its partner Novacium SAS have delivered a major leap in battery performance, with their GEN3 silicon-anode batteries outperforming some of the biggest names in energy storage. In independent testing, these next-generation cells retained over80% of their capacity after 900 cycles, far exceeding leading commercial 18650 lithium-ion batteries fromSamsung, Panasonic, and LG.With95% of today's lithium-ion anodes still reliant on graphite, HPQ’s technology is poised to disrupt the industry. The company’s silicon-based materials, which can replace10%–15% of traditional graphite without costly retooling, position HPQ to capture a significant share of theUS$22.5B–$33.8B addressable market by 2030.“These results confirm our ability to develop world-class silicon-based materials that enhance battery longevity and performance. With targeted refinements, we see even greater potential for next-generation lithium-ion applications, from consumer electronics to EVs,” said Bernard Tourillon, CEO of HPQ Silicon and Novacium.By leveraging proprietaryhigh-throughput manufacturing processes, HPQ and Novacium are advancing toward commercial production, positioning their technology as acost-effective, high-performance alternative for battery makers worldwide. With growing demand in the 3C markets (Computer, Consumer, and Communication),HPQ’s breakthrough silicon-anode materials could redefine the future of lithium-ion batteries.STRATEGIC MARKET OPPORTUNITYCEO’S PERSPECTIVE: SCALING FOR COMMERCIALIZATION
