Developing Processes For The Low-Cost Manufacturing Of High Purity Silicon Metals For Next-Generation Lithium-ion Batteries

Achieved final critical milestones, completing a successful silicon pour

Message: Ideal Nano-silicon price/kg

Hello,

 

Please forgive me if this has been answered previously.

 

Nano-silicon powder has a reported current going rate of $30,000/kg which is a major barrier for widespread adoption into Lithium Ion batteries.

Once the PureVap processes are running and scaled, it has been said, to my knowledge, that 50 tons per year can be made at an extremely low cost relative to that.

 

My question is this: Roughly what price point/kg do we believe is the amount at which nano-silicon becomes affordable enough for manufacturers to put in massive orders that will push HPQ to full manufacturing capacity of those 50 tons? (Assuming that we will not be selling 50 tons for $30,000/kg, but at a much lower price that enables a paradigm shift in battery materials considerations).

 

 

Thanks so much, and Cheers!
