In Europe, companies like Vianode in Norway and Talga in Sweden are aiming to produce anode active materials (AAM) on a large scale, leveraging cheap and renewable energy sources. These initiatives reflect the region’s commitment to supporting the EV industry and meeting the rising demand for batteries.
Furthermore, US-based start-ups such as Amprius, Enovix, and LeydenJar are making remarkable progress in developing silicon anodes. Backed by major investors like Mercedes and BASF, they are pushing the boundaries with innovations like 3D cell architecture and nanowire/nanoparticle integration, aiming for anodes composed of up to 100% silicone.
The collective efforts of these key stakeholders in the anode market are crucial in driving innovation and meeting the growing demand for sustainable transportation. Their contributions play a significant role in supporting the transition to a greener future.
