Amprius Announces Breakthrough SiCore™
Cell Chemistry to Boost Battery Performance for Electric Mobility
Applications (Graphic: Business Wire)
The new SiCore cell offers unparalleled power-to-energy
capabilities for high-demand applications. With an impressive
energy density of 370 Wh/kg, the SiCore cell extends runtimes while
still delivering exceptional high-power performance exceeding 3000
W/kg. The cell’s advanced design supports high discharge rates of
up to 10C without cooling and 15C with active cooling, ensuring
quick power delivery without compromising runtime. This
cutting-edge solution is expected to set new standards for
applications operating in the most demanding conditions. The new
SiCore cell is ideal for aviation, including drones, and
high-performance electric vehicle applications that require both
endurance and rapid energy delivery.
Amprius customers, such as Teledyne FLIR, a leading provider of
unmanned solutions to military and public safety customers, are
turning to SiCore for the new possibilities it can enable.
“Amprius’ new SiCore cell is positioned to deliver a
transformative boost in power and energy for our unmanned aerial
systems, extending mission durations while maintaining critical
performance under demanding conditions,” said Tung Ng, Vice
President, Unmanned Systems North America at Teledyne FLIR. “We are
eager to evaluate how this breakthrough technology can meet the
rigorous needs of our defense, security, and industrial customers,
enabling longer runtimes and increasing operational
flexibility.”
“This SiCore cell is a significant technical breakthrough for
the industry, achieving a level of power-to-energy ratio that we
believe has not been seen at such high-energy density,” said Dr.
Ionel Stefan, CTO of Amprius Technologies. “By optimizing the
silicon anode composition without compromising the other
performance metrics of the cell, we have redefined the trade-off
between power and energy. This cell is not just about performance
but about creating new power possibilities for high-demand
applications.”
“Amprius SiCore Platform has achieved a new performance level.
With its unparalleled power-to-energy performance and adaptability
across industries such as advanced air mobility, drones, electric
vehicles, and light electric vehicles, the new SiCore cell offers
our customers more design options and capabilities,” said Dr. Kang
Sun, CEO of Amprius Technologies. “It is expected to enable our
customers to achieve superior range, speed, and reliability. This
advanced power delivery is especially critical for applications
like eVTOL aircraft, where high power is essential for takeoff and
landing, and high energy ensures extended flight times and longer
ranges. Backed by our strong manufacturing partnerships and
capabilities, we believe this innovation positions Amprius to meet
growing market demand while driving the widespread adoption of
silicon anode technology in rapidly expanding industries.”
In the fourth quarter of 2024, pre-production 10Ah samples were
delivered to six of Amprius’ customers, enabling real-world testing
in challenging environments. This early access ensures the SiCore
cell meets industry standards ahead of its planned
commercialization in the first quarter of 2025.
