Recently, it is reported that the eqg model announced by Mercedes Benz officials will provide silicon anode battery version, and the battery technology comes from Sila. Compared with the current batteries on the market, the energy density of this battery can be increased by 20-40% to more than 800 WH / L , which will enable future cars to store more energy in the same space, thus significantly increasing the mileage.
However, Mercedes Benz is not ready to disclose more specific details, but is expected to launch eqg equipped with Sila battery technology around 2025.
It is understood that Sila, whose full name is Sila nanotechnologies, is a battery technology company. In September last year, xuanhu launched a silicon anode for real products: Whoop strap 4.0, and said it had been put into production.
Gene Berdichevsky, Sila's CEO and co-founder, revealed that due to Sila's efforts to develop a core-shell structure at the particle level, the new silicon anode will successfully replace the graphite anode.
In addition, Berdichevsky expects to use the silicon anode to help build a "forever battery", which can withstand 10000 cycles or 30 years .
Sila will take 10 years, 55000 iterations and expand the manufacturing scale by 1000 times to make the silicon anode marketable. Whoop strap 4.0 is the first result of all efforts.
It is worth noting that Mercedes Benz is the first publicly announced auto customer .
