Amprius has developed a new manufacturing technique that will enable mass production of its ultrahigh-density silicon nanowire lithium ion batteries

"For years, researchers around the world have worked to increase the amount of energy that can be stored in a lithium-ion battery. While many designs and techniques have emerged from research labs around the world, few have made it from the laboratory to the marketplace. But now, Stanford battery startup Amprius has developed a new large-scale manufacturing technique for advanced silicon electrodes that could actually enable mass production of high-energy lithium-ion batteries in the near future, and help bring the next generation of electric vehicles and consumer electronics to fruition.”…
