LeydenJar Silicon Anode Technology Could Rival China

LeydenJar Silicon Anode Technology Gains Major Funding LeydenJar silicon anode technology is taking a bold step forward with the company’s recent €13 million funding round. This investment, supported by an additional €10 million from a leading U.S.-based consumer electronics company, will help LeydenJar scale production and build its PlantOne facility in Eindhoven by 2027. The innovation is set to challenge China’s dominance in battery materials, where most of the world’s graphite anodes are currently produced.  Image Credits:Tomasz Śmigla / Getty Images How Silicon Anode Technology Improves Battery Performance Traditional lithium-ion batteries rely heavily on graphite, which has reached performance limits after years of incremental improvements. LeydenJar silicon anode technology promises up to a 50% energy density boost, far surpassing graphite-based designs. Silicon is known to store more lithium ions, offering longer battery life and faster charging, but its natural tendency to swell …
