Bloomberg Intelligence Chemicals Analyst Sean Gilmartin hosts Sila Nanotechnologies co-founder & CEO Gene Berdichevsky to discuss the rapid innovation and tremendous scale needed for next-gen lithium-ion batteries to sustain an electrified future and transition away from fossil-fuels. Sila's advanced silicon-based anode, which can replace the ubiquitous graphite-based anode, can help deliver 20% higher energy density over today's state-of-the-art batteries and may be a critical component of future batteries in the consumer electronics and automotive (EV) market. We dive into specifics around this chemistry, why a silicon-based anode can be so revolutionary to battery advancement, and how Sila plans to scale its technology to support its customers.
