TDK Corp. plans to mass-produce advanced silicon-anode batteries with 15% higher energy density in 2025, addressing rising AI-powered device demands. These batteries enable faster EV charging and enhanced smartphone performance. Partnering with Group14 Technologies and ATL, TDK is leveraging rapid production capabilities despite concerns about supply limitations. Growth is expected incrementally, as silicon battery adoption expands.

Honor’s Magic7 Pro smartphone features a silicon-carbon battery powered by Group14’s SCC55™ silicon battery material. With a capacity of up to 5,850mAh, the battery enables the fast charging and extended battery life necessary to meet the growing demands of AI-enabled devices.

Silicon-anode batteries are advancing faster than solid-state alternatives in the EV sector, offering higher energy density and faster charging. Companies like Group14 Technologies are leading this progress, with their silicon-carbon composite SCC55™ that enables 50% more energy density than traditional graphite anodes.

Advancements in battery technology, including solid-state batteries and high-silicon anodes, are set to revolutionize electric vehicles (EVs) by enhancing energy density and reducing weight. Companies like Group14 are leading this innovation, aiming to deliver safer, more efficient batteries that could significantly extend EV range and performance.

The U.S. Department of Energy plans to fund battery manufacturing and supply chain projects across 14 states to boost domestic production and reduce dependence on China. This initiative is projected to create 12,000 jobs and attract $16 billion in investments, strengthening the nation’s energy infrastructure and supply chain resilience.
