Granode Materials AB

Granode develops a disruptive technology in development of the silicon graphite composites, using widely available/cheap metallurgical micro-silicon without the use of hazardous gases such as silane etc. Granode's anode composite promotes a drop-in solution compatible with conventional battery making technology with verified electrochemical performance over the battery life-cycle. As usage of the lithium-ion batteries (LiBs) multiplies, the specific requirements for higher energy density of the operating devices such as electric vehicles and the unmanned aviation is becoming more pronounced. Whilst the market for LiBs is experiencing drastic growth (27% per annum), the issues regarding sufficient energy density, availability of the raw materials and high costs are indeed critical drags for wide implementation and sustainable growth of such industry mainly in Europe. The unique anode technology developed at Granode offers significant improvement in the capacity and energy density of the LiBs compared to conventional graphite. In addition, it provides a sustainable and cheap platform for domestic supply chain of anodes.
