We’re proud to share our latest open-access paper, demonstrating how E-magy’s nanoporous silicon delivers robust performance in both coin and pouch cell formats at ~1000 mAh g⁻¹ Si utilisation.
The study confirms our unique parallel cylindrical pore structure creates a stable crystalline silicon backbone and allows silicon to expand inward, preventing particle fracture. SEM, Raman, and XRD analysis all show the pore architecture stays intact—even after 200+ cycles, with no visible cracks in particles up to 10–20 µm.
This internal buffering dramatically reduces swelling:
• Only 16% anode expansion (vs. 75% for non-porous Si)
• <4% stack expansion in multilayer pouch cells
• >90% first-cycle coulombic efficiency
The work demonstrates that E-magy’s nanoporous silicon is a low-cost, high-capacity, industrially compatible anode material for next-generation lithium-ion batteries, validated in both coin and multilayer pouch cells using standard cathode materials and electrolytes. Its scalability and robustness make it suitable for high-performance applications across sectors, including drones and consumer electronics.
