Lithium-Ion Battery Silicon Anodes with Matt Kappers CEO The Coretec Group

Sean White‘s Solar and Energy Storage Podcast

Matthew Kappers is the CEO of The Coretec Group. The Coretec Group is known for their expertise in silicon nanoparticles to push the boundaries of silicon engineering and battery development. They are using their main expertise to develop an anode with a high concentration of silicon that will significantly boost the performance of lithium-ion batteries.
In this podcast we are going to talk about anodes and how these anodes could potentially be used with other types of batteries and other types of electrolytes. Let us hear from Matthew Kappers on how he and his team work with anodes, which is what makes their company so special! Besides being an informative discussion, it was also a good conversation, which you can now join! Here is a list of the topics we cover:

1. Coretec Group's Endurion battery technology
2. Silicon nanoparticles
3. Anodes
4. Solid Electrolyte Interface (SEI) layer
5. Increasing lithium ion battery capacity by 100% with 20% silicon
6. Most EV batteries have no silicon
7. 100% silicon anode would increase capacity 10x
8. Drop in solution
9. Partner with battery manufacturer
10. Patents
11. Silicon vs. silicone
12. Specific energy is per weight
13. Energy density is energy per volume
14. Most people say energy density when they mean specific energy
15. Lithium anode battery (not rechargeable)
16. Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) cobalt mining
17. Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) cathodes
18. Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt Oxide (NMC) cathodes
