Fremont, California-based Amprius technologies is the manufacturer of some of the highest energy density lithium-ion battery cells in the world. This was accomplished using their proprietary silicone nanowire anode technology that enables a step change improvement over the traditionally graphite-based lithium-ion cell chemistries.
Higher energy density and volumetric density matters when cramming batteries into products where the volume is limited and where weight is a key concern. Think aviation, drones, VTOLs, and similar applications. After going public last year in a SPAC merger that valued Amprius at $939 million, an expansion of their limited volume production facility in the Bay Area was quickly put into motion. Just a few months later, Amprius reached out to invite CleanTechnica to…
