About the subject
The increase in energy density is one of the main drivers for battery technology. On the anode side, silicon is a promising material to replace graphite and enhance battery performance, but several technical challenges exist, slowing the adoption of this technology. The main challenges in adopting silicon-based anodes for Li-ion batteries involve improving the cycling and electrochemical performance of silicon anode materials, as well as refining the synthesis process to increase yields, reduce costs, and lower environmental impact. Key technical solutions under development include creating various silicon-based materials (e.g., nanostructured, composite, highly porous, and high-density materials) and developing electrolytes and binders specifically suited to silicon anode materials.
R&D laboratories and industrial companies all around the world quickly recognized the potentiality of silicon as an anode material for Li-ion batteries, leading to significant investments to bring this technology to the market. In this context, patent analysis perfectly complements market research to offer a deep understanding of the competitive landscape, to anticipate changes, detect business opportunities early, get ahead of cutting-edge technology developments, and understand competitors’ strategies.
This webinar will provide insights into patenting trends for Silicon Anode Li-ion Batteries, the key IP players and newcomers, their IP strategies across the supply chain, and recent IP developments with a focus on silicon-based materials.
