Disruptive nano materials technology

Granode Materials is developing and commercializing an anode material for lithium- ion batteries. By changing the charge carrier to a mix of graphene, nano silicon and binders, our anode material can increase storage capacity dramatically. This is especially true when compared to graphite, the most commonly used material in lithium-ion battery anodes. Our innovative anode material also adds to the mechanical strength and electrical conductivity of the battery. This circumvents the well-known expansion problems and lowering the conductivity of silicon.

The problem

Today’s batteries are facing four main challenges today:

  • Low charge-to-weight ratio

    Current charge-to-weight ratio is too low to support good driving economy in electric vehicles.

  • Slow charging

    Current anodes struggle with long charging times, while the market demand is moving towards instant charging.

  • Low numbers of charging cycles

    Current anodes can only handle a lower number of charging cycles, causing a high lifetime cost.

  • Hard to recycle

    Current anodes are not easily recyclable or they contain rare earth metals that cause secondary environmental challenges.

The solution

Our extraordinary silicon-graphene anode material is designed for next generation batteries and will solve current anode problems:

  • High charge-to-weight ratio

    Granode Materials’ anodes have up to 10 times higher charge-to-weight capacity than current battery anodes!

  • High number of charging cycles

    Granode Materials’ anodes can last up to 3 times longer than current battery anodes!

  • Fast charging

    Granode Materials’ anodes can charge 5-10 times faster than current battery anodes!

  • Easy to recycle

    Granode Materials’ anodes are easier to recycle than current battery anodes!

Cost efficiency – a key factor

Granode Materials’ groundbreaking method is cost-efficient and compatible with commercial fabrication methods. Our manufacturing, which stems from the paper manufacturing industry, is both energy-efficient and inexpensive.

Granode Materials has a local provider of graphene in 2D fab, the company from which Granode Materials spun out of. 2D fab provides sustainable and cost-efficient graphene products and has years of experience and research behind their manufacturing process. Granode Materials also has several ways to manufacture the silicon nano particles needed. The result: reduced costs.
