BioSolar, Inc. highlighted the potential impact of its silicon anode additive technology. This new technology may enable widespread commercialization of Silicon (Si) anodes made from lower cost Si micro-particle materials, as opposed to Si-nano-particles, to fill the need for advanced batteries in many emerging market sectors. The industry standard for Si anodes currently uses Si nano-particles, but the difficulty of manufacturing raw Si nano-particle materials remains a costly challenge. In contrast, Si micro-particles are easier to manufacture at a significantly lower cost. Unfortunately, anodes made from Si micro-particles are more prone to damage during battery charging and discharging due to volume expansion, thus not yet commercially viable. BioSolar innovative additive technology is designed to solve this problem.
NewHydrogen, Inc. is a developer of clean energy technologies. The Company is developing ThermoLoop a technology that uses clean energy and water to produce the green hydrogen. The Company is focused on developing technologies to reduce or replace rare earth materials with inexpensive earth-abundant materials in electrolyzers to help usher in a green hydrogen economy. The ThermoLoop is a low-cost thermochemical process to split water using inexpensive heat, instead of expensive electricity. This technology water as a feedstock and reduces the cost of hydrogen production by eliminating electricity used in existing electrolyzers. Its green technology applications include the green electric grid, fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV), battery electric vehicles (BEV), hydrogen fueling stations, lower carbon gas infrastructure and air taxis.
