Sicona

Sicona is a battery materials technology and manufacturing company based in Wollongong, NSW. Their most advanced, market ready product is SiCx®, a next-generation silicon carbon (Si/C) drop-in anode material utilised in existing lithium-ion battery technologies. SiCx® can increase battery energy density by over 20% and reduce charge time by up to 40% compared to current graphite-based anodes.*

Sicona’s SiCx® is designed for application in battery electric vehicles, personal mobility devices, 3C devices (computers, communication, and consumer electronics), and defence technologies.

SiCx® addresses customers three major concerns to EV adoption: range anxiety, charging time anxiety, and cost of battery systems. SiCx®s ability to deliver higher energy density, and fast-charge performance compared to graphite makes it ideally suited for industries demanding compact, lightweight, longer-lasting, and faster charging batteries.
