Project Description: The objective of this program is to demonstrate the manufacturing of silicon nanowire anode technology at the component and cell level on multi-megawatt-hour (MWh)-scale manufacturing lines that are comparable to those used in multi-gigawatt-hour (GWh) factories. This demonstration will install and operate the first of its kind large scale production lines for Amprius ultra-high-energy-density battery technology and provide a bottom-up analysis of the cost factors of the demonstration line and product performance associated with the factory output. The current level of battery performance, based on low-volume pilot production, indicates that Amprius will be able to deliver cells using the proprietary anode technology that have a specific energy and energy density that are at least 50% higher, and have lower projected cost than equivalent graphite cells. Amprius silicon anode manufacturing process leverages the global supply chain, with U.S. based materials input (silane gas) produced at large enough scale to support anode production equivalent to many GWhs of batteries. The scale-up of silicon nanowire anode and cell fabrication for high volume production is one of the most important steps needed for maturing this technology and bringing its benefits to the electrification of transportation and to society in general.
