Lithium ion batteries are a mature technology. Although there will be further developments, demand for rechargeable batteries is increasing greatly. So, new innovative technologies are needed. Our efforts involve developing battery electrode materials from rice husks and end of service life solar panels. Entirely new technologies are under development, such as sodium-ion batteries that are derived from minerals such as rock salt
Unlocking nature's power for advanced energy storage, we use Silicon, sustainably derived from rice husks and solar panels, along with Sodium from abundant rock salt. Together, these elements fuel the creation of efficient, eco-friendly next-generation batteries, marking an innovative leap towards a sustainable energy future
Silicon-based anode powder can be used as an active material for the negative electrode in Li-ion batteries. This powder can be processed to create electrode sheets, which can then be used to produce the battery
Rice husks are a readily available agricultural waste in many Asian countries and have the highest silicon content among biomass materials. They can be extracted easily and cost-effectively in an environmentally friendly manner, and the synthesis of silicon-based anode batteries using rice husks is easy to scale up. This technology offers numerous advantages, including excellent battery properties and a sustainable, low-cost source of silicon.
The smallest change can make a significant difference in battery technology
By Adjustable porosity unique porosity
We can characterize the morphology by synthesizing planar or porous models.
1. Reduce volume expansion in silicon
2. Good mixing and homogeneous for making electrodes.
The worldwide cumulative mass of a solar panels will be 80 million tonnes (Mt) over the next 30 years. The problems, a highly efficient and sustainable process for recycling solar panel waste is very important for economic, social and environmental development. Our solution produces battery grade Si as an anode material, which is extracted from Si wafers in solar panel waste. Our products are useful in making anode electrodes for Li-ion battery cells, that can be implement as battery packs in electric vehicles.

Rock salt to sodium-ion batteries - a journey from abundance to efficiency, offering a promising and cost-effective alternative in the sustainable energy landscape
Rock salt, which is composed of sodium chloride (NaCl), can be processed to produce sodium-ion battery electrode materials and electrolytes. Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are a type of rechargeable battery that uses sodium ions similar to lithium-ion batteries. However, sodium is more abundant and cost-effective than lithium, making SIBs a promising alternative to lithium-ion batteries.
Transforming rock salt into essential sodium components, we innovate in Na-ion batteries. By developing advanced cathode materials and using plant-based anode materials, we boost capacity, longevity, and cost-effectiveness, all while championing sustainability
We have developed materials using physical and chemical methods to improve capacity, energy density, and long cycle life, as well as reduce costs
We choose a variety of natural plant-based materials for improved properties for Na- ion transports.
Designing a battery pack involves the process of selecting and arranging individual battery cells to create a more powerful battery system. This process depends on the application and the specific requirements of the device or system.
