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.

Honor’s Magic 7 Pro smartphone features a silicon-carbon battery with a capacity of up to 5,850mAh, enhancing performance and longevity. This advancement, powered by Group14’s SCC55™ silicon battery material, enables faster charging and longer-lasting batteries, meeting the growing demands of AI-enabled devices.

Group14 CEO Rick Luebbe anticipates rapid growth in silicon anode markets, independent of ex-China graphite supply chains.

AI’s growing energy demands provide an opportunity for next-gen battery makers like Group14, whose silicon-anode technology powers Honor’s AI-driven Magic 7 Pro. While EV adoption lags, AI data centers and smartphones offer medium-term growth for batteries, addressing the need for high-capacity, energy-efficient solutions in AI-heavy applications.

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

Advancements in battery technology, including solid-state batteries and high-silicon anodes, are set to revolutionize EVs by enhancing energy density.
