Store.Dot’s silicon-dominant battery has been repeatedly charged from 10% to 80% in 10 minutes, holding 80% of its capacity. It uses a silicon anode, replacing graphite used in common lithium-ion batteries. Silicon can store more electricity than graphite. Group14 Technologies from Woodinville, Washington says customers using their version of a silicon anode, meant to replace graphite, can get their batteries to store up to 50% more energy and get charging in as little as 10 minutes. Imagine being able to charge your car’s battery as fast as you could fill it up with gas!
