Battery technology is advancing with silicon anode materials potentially transforming the EV market within a few years. Silicon anodes have been experimented with since the 1970s but lithium-silicon batteries have made huge leaps in the last few years, becoming known for their high performance and energy density. Silicon anodes are known for their high volume expansion when heated during charging but a 3D carbon structure in the battery can contain the expansion. Israel-based company StoreDot is at the pinnacle of silicon anode development and is expected to bring this new silicon battery technology to the premium EV market within the next couple of years.
