Moses Lake, Washington, USA - August 26, 2024:
OneD Battery Sciences, a pioneer in silicon anode materials, has successfully completed and commissioned its SINANODE pilot production line in Moses Lake, Washington. This significant accomplishment paves the way for scaling up the production of OneD's innovative anode materials to meet the growing demand for high-performance batteries, particularly in the electric vehicle (EV) market.
The completion of the SINANODE Pilot plant marks a culmination of over a year of intense construction and development efforts. The project involved collaboration between OneD's team, general contractor Dahlgren Industrial, and various partners, including Advanced Material Solutions, Meier Architecture • Engineering, Royal HaskoningDHV, Grant County PUD, and CVD Equipment Corporation. Notably, REC Silicon, a key supplier of silane, has approved the plant's bulk Silane off-loading station, ensuring safe and efficient operations.
"Today's milestone is a testament to the outstanding teamwork and dedication of our team, general contractor, and partners," said Jan-Marc Luchies, Chief Operating Officer at OneD. "The successful commissioning of the SINANODE Pilot plant is a major step forward in our mission to deliver high-performance silicon anode materials to the global battery market."
Initial production runs of SINANODE at the pilot plant have demonstrated performance that is consistent with the anode materials produced at OneD's R&D facility in Palo Alto, California. This validation is crucial for ensuring the scalability and commercial viability of the SINANODE technology.
"We have invested significant time and resources in perfecting the SINANODE process steps to ensure their efficient transfer and scale-up," said Yimin Zhu, Co-Founder, and Chief Technology Officer. "Our customers demand consistent quality and performance, and we are confident that our SINANODE process can meet their stringent requirements."
OneD is now scheduling visits to the Moses Lake plant for customers and partners to showcase the key metrics and benefits of the SINANODE technology. The company is also working to demonstrate the exceptional cost structure of its SINANODE process when applied to various types of EV-grade graphite anode materials from different suppliers.
The successful commissioning of the SINANODE Pilot plant is a major milestone for OneD and a positive development for the battery industry. As the demand for high-performance batteries continues to grow, OneD's innovative anode materials have the potential to play a crucial role in enabling the transition to a cleaner and more sustainable energy future.
