Amprius Technologies, a manufacturer of lithium-ion batteries with silicon-anode technology, has announced a contract contract with a battery manufacturer in South Korea in order to increase the production of its Sicore cell.
Sicore cells use a silicon -anode material system to enable high availability and performance in a cell. Sicore cells offer “unprecedented power-to-energy skills for high-presenting applications” that require both perseverance and fast energy supply, according to the company. Possible applications include EVTOL aircraft, drones and high-performance electric vehicles (EVTOL).
“This strategic partnership expands the global production expression of Amprius and improves its ability to deliver high-performance sicore cells on a scale in order to satisfy the increasing global demand,” said the company. According to CEO Dr. Kang Sun.
The South Korean partner, who was not identified in the announcement, has extensive experience in the manufacture of advanced lithium-ion batteries in a number of form factors and cell chemia, said Amprius.
The initial production in South Korea will include a balanced Sicore cell that was developed for an advanced drone with high energy and high-performance performance.
