Silicon Monoxide

The hunt is on for advanced battery materials with enhanced storage capacity, higher energy density, and better cycle characteristics than traditional lithium-ion batteries. Conventional lithium-ion batteries rely on graphite-based anodes, whose well-established properties aren’t ideal for meeting the growing consumer demand for high-performance electronics, such as smartphones, laptops, and electric vehicles. Current research is focusing on developing new alternatives that perform better and are safer than lithium-ion, and ACS Material is leading the way.

Silicon monoxide is a promising alternative to graphite because of its high specific gravity, low volume expansion, and small initial surface area. Silicon-based anodes can increase capacity ten times over standard graphite, allowing smaller batteries to produce the same amount of power, or increasing the capacity of a battery of the same size. This is possible because of the internal channels within the silicon monoxide nanospheres. These channels allow lithium ions to flow rapidly for quick charging and they shorten the paths for a boost in power.

ACS Material offers a 99.99% pure silicon monoxide powder prepared using chemical vapor deposition, suitable for secondary battery anode material precursors to prepare silicon-based anode materials and for fine ceramic synthetic raw materials. Our silicon monoxide battery material is prized by researchers and innovators around the world for its quality, purity, and consistency.
