OneD and Customcells enter into a strategic, project-based partnership. The goal is the joint development and industrialization of EV battery cells, for internationally active automotive OEMs.

Jan-Marc Luchies, COO of OneD Battery Sciences opens SINANODE Europe GmbH in Munich. A SINANODE production pilot plant is established in Europe for European customers.

CEO, Vincent Pluvinage discusses OneD’s partnership with GM, OEMs, affordability, and SINANODE.

EV sales are growing at an accelerating pace but still represent a small number of new car sales in most markets. This is not surprising; most people cannot afford them. In the U.S., 80% of new cars are sold at an MSRP below $40,000. In 2022, Porsche Taycan sold less than 6,000 units in the U.S. and Tesla sold 20 times more Models 3 and Y than Models S and X.

Vincent Pluvinage, CEO of silicon anode developer OneD Battery Sciences, is on a rant: His fellow next-generation battery makers, he says, are overpromising a future of cheap, faster-charging, long-distance electric vehicles. Pluvinage says automakers will be reluctant to adopt these technologies after sinking billions of dollars into factories devoted to conventional lithium-ion and graphite batteries. As a result, he says, his rivals won’t achieve the high sales they predict this decade, but will be relegated to the niche premium and ultraluxury segments.

Vincent discusses key steps that OneD is taking to move towards affordability in the EV battery world and how the company is “using less to get more.”

The battery-electric-vehicle race continues to heat up. In 2022, the auto industry saw not only a significant uptick in BEV sales but also an increased focus from OEMs on bringing costs down.

The need to make BEVs more affordable is obvious: The majority of car buyers cannot afford today’s models, which are priced higher than most internal-combustion-engine vehicles. Fortunately, the U.S. has seen recent regulatory changes, although the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) can provide tax credits only if batteries contain enough materials sourced locally.

Vincent lays out how the SINANODE Technology Platform uses silicon nanowires to enhance graphite in EV batteries — increasing performance while reducing weight and cost.

General Motors’ new joint-research agreement with OneD underscores the promise of silicon-anode development.

Higher energy density, lower costs, faster charging: For its batteries, GM relies on the nanotechnology of OneD Battery – the start-up of a Silicon Valley veteran.

Makers of batteries that could charge in a few minutes are setting up assembly lines, bringing the technology a big step closer to auto showrooms.

While the world is moving in the direction of progressive electrification, especially in the transport sector, there is a growing demand for new battery solutions able to offer high efficiency, reduced size and weight, and high recyclability of the raw materials used.

One way to overcome issues with cost when considering increased use of silicon in EV batteries is to optimize current manufacturing processes.

Adding silicon to the graphite-based anode can make a huge difference.

• Battery technology is what the combustion chamber used to be: it is the great differentiator for OEMs
• KT Neumann has seen an array of manufacturing processes used, but none compare to what OneD’s SINANODE platform achieves in directly addressing drivers’ needs
• OneD has created the only manufacturing process that simplifies the process of using silicon technology to create more efficient and cost-effective EV batteries

With the rise of electric vehicles, there has been a demand in the industry to attain more efficient, environment-friendly technologies for EV batteries. A revolutionary platform, SINANODE meets the market requirements and provides a solution in a cost-effective way.

US-based OneD Battery Sciences has developed a silicon-based battery technology platform, called SINANODE. To learn more, we caught up with Vincent Pluvinage, Co-Founder and CEO.

Battery technology plays a vital role in the development and growth of electric vehicles. OneD Battery Sciences, a leader in EV battery technology, introduced SINANODE, a type of technology that shows promise for the future of silicon-based EV batteries. The SINANODE process fuses silicon nanowires onto graphite powders. OneD Battery Sciences claims this technology triples the energy density of the anode and cuts costs per kWh in half. When a battery has a higher energy density, it can increase its range and the nanowires shorten charging time. Optimizing performance and reducing costs can greatly benefit the EV industry and support EV adoption.

AZoCleantech speaks to Vincent Pluvinage, CEO and co-founder of OneD Battery Sciences, about SINANODE, an innovative technology set to make electric vehicles more cost-effective and with longer ranges.

Charging an EV battery is simply storing electrons and lithium ions in the appropriate electrode of the cells in the battery pack. Today, almost all the anode electrodes store electrical energy in natural or synthetic graphite particles coated onto the current collector in large EV cell factories. A few leading EV models (for example Tesla Y, Tesla 3, and Porsche Taycan) contain a small amount (a few percentage points) of silicon oxide additives mixed with the graphite, to increase the cells energy and power density, hence increasing EV range and charging speed for a better driving experience versus graphite-only EVs.

OneD Battery Sciences, leaders in electric vehicle (EV) battery technology, today announced it has begun construction of its first pilot plants in Moses Lake, WA. The plants will enable each EV maker to customize and optimize silicon-graphite anodes for use in their upcoming advanced lithium-ion EV batteries using OneD’s patented SINANODE technology process.

The battery fires in some Chevrolet Bolt electric vehicles have caused a jolt among the more than 600 companies at this week’s The Battery Show in Novi, Mich. near Detroit. Just as automakers step up EV production and try to convince consumers battery-powered vehicles are safe, companies involved in producing and testing cells are digging in to say they’re doing everything they can to provide peace of mind among consumers through advance technologies. view youtube video >

The race to develop and sell new electric vehicles (EVs) is driving huge investments in new battery materials; new cell manufacturing process technologies; and new factories in key markets. In fact, The International Energy Agency predicts that by 2040, 55% of all new car sales and 33% of the global fleet will be electric.

The adoption of disruptive forces can be negative when the adoption of new innovations increases risk and the obsolescence of prior investments.

In this video, we discuss the debate of graphite vs. silicon.

In this video, Jordan Giesige speaks with Vincent Pluvinage, CEO of OneD Battery Sciences. OneD has developed a product called SINANODE, a drop-in manufacturing process that fuses silicon nanowires to graphite to triple the specific capacity of the anode while cutting its cost in half (per kWh) . . . a great silicon solution for OEMs.

PALO ALTO, Calif. OneD Battery Sciences, leaders in EV battery technology, today announced SINANODE, a breakthrough technology to power the next generation of EV batteries. To build a battery with more silicon, a longtime challenge for the EV industry, SINANODE seamlessly integrates into existing manufacturing processes to fuse silicon nanowires onto commercial graphite powders, tripling the energy density of the anode while halving its cost per kWh. The higher energy density increases battery range while nanowires shorten charging time, enabling OEMs to design and produce electric vehicles that answer the booming market demand for better batteries.
