Paraclete Energy, Inc. of Michigan, USA makes oxide-free, cycle-stable nanoparticle silicon with a first cycle efficiency of over 90%. Their product, SM-Silicon/3590™, costs 30% less than graphite. They are a materials producer and don’t have plans to expand into cell production. Paraclete’s SM-Silicon/3590™ can be blended directly with graphite or work 100% alone as the anode. SM-Silicon/3590™ contains far less inactive material than other silicon-enabled anode materials and thereby offers an energy density of 7x graphite; 4.4x leading competitive material. As opposed to inactive material other Si providers use to mitigate the issues of working with Si, Paraclete uses multiple covalently linked, functional layers that enable long-term cycle stability along with the highest energy density. Paraclete currently produces tons of its SM-Silicon/3590™ and is globally expanding through distributed manufacturing plants at its partners’ sites Unlike other industry Si providers, Paraclete’s SM-Silicon/3590™ is available today in production quantities. Paraclete’s list of contracted customers includes tier-one EV OEMs, battery manufacturers, and anode material suppliers. Beyond SM-Silicon/3590™, Paraclete’s proprietary Silicon Silo™ technology can improve the cycle life and stability of a wide range of silicon-enabled anode materials, turning potential competitors into potential customers.
