Our methods position us as an industry leader

At Granode Materials, we excel in silicon nanostructure synthesis with patented methods, including our innovative RF plasma deposition. This positions us as industry leaders, especially with our silicon-graphene anode material, which requires significantly less anode material for the same storage capacity as traditional batteries.

Our post-processing techniques are specifically designed to meet the lithium-ion battery market’s demands, minimizing the need for additional industry treatment. We focus on overcoming challenges related to dispersion and excessive interactions in anode applications, ensuring superior performance.

We are confident that our technology can revolutionize the lithium-ion battery industry, offering a highly efficient and cost-effective solution for next-generation battery anodes. Our expertise in silicon nanoparticle composites enhances anode performance and addresses challenges associated with using solely silicon nanoparticles in anode materials.

Our thorough understanding of plasma technology allows us to produce silicon nanoparticles deposited on graphite/graphene at a lab scale, and we believe plasma deposition is the most viable method for commercial production. Our rigorously tested and optimized post-treatment methods meet the exacting demands of the lithium-ion battery market, streamlining the production process and reducing costs.

Our technical expertise in silicon nanoparticle composites is unparalleled in the industry. We boast a strong portfolio of patented and patent-pending methods for synthesizing silicon nanostructures, with our RF plasma deposition method standing out as particularly promising. Our deep understanding of silicon nanostructures and their interactions with other materials enables us to tailor post-processing techniques for optimal results.



General FAQs
