Group14's New Plant Brings Revolutionary Silicon Anode Batteries to Market
Group14 Technologies, a US-based company specialising in silicon-carbon materials for lithium-ion batteries, has begun operations at its new large-scale silicon anode manufacturing plant in Moses Lake, Washington. The plant, engineered to support an initial capacity of two to five gigawatt-hours (GWh), is set to revolutionise battery technology with its innovative silicon anode material.
The Moses Lake plant, spanning over 600,000 square feet on a 160-acre property, is designed to supply advanced battery materials for electric vehicle (EV) manufacturers and other battery-powered applications. The facility is powered by clean hydropower from the Columbia River and incorporates integrated safety and environmental controls, as well as automotive-grade quality systems to ensure consistent production of Titan Silicon, Group14's silicon-carbon anode material designed to replace graphite in lithium-ion batteries.
Titan Silicon enables up to a 20 percent energy density improvement compared to leading graphite-based cells and supports two times faster charging speeds. The plant has been engineered with design flexibility for future expansion, with the capacity to reach up to 250 GWh within five years. This expansion aligns with the company's goal to accelerate the transition to clean energy by enhancing battery performance.
Group14 Technologies' Moses Lake plant, powered by clean energy and equipped with advanced safety and quality systems, is poised to supply cutting-edge battery materials to the EV industry. Its innovative Titan Silicon product, with improved energy density and faster charging speeds, is set to drive advancements in battery technology, supporting the global shift towards sustainable energy.
