The co-founder of Enovix revealed that this round of financing is a $25 million strategic investment of a California technology company. Today, investors have increased by $6,543,800,000 to develop batteries for specific products and retain production capacity.
This 3D lithium-ion battery structure adopts 100% active silicon anode, which is different from the traditional anode containing only a small amount of silicon. In the early stage of 20 19, the volumetric energy density of the prototype battery has exceeded 900? What? /L, and the deep discharge cycle life is over 500 times. About 75% of the equipment and technology in this factory are the same as those of standard bag-type lithium-ion batteries. In the production process, the production capacity of the production line can be increased by 30% by adopting the production technology of proprietary laser mode and high-speed stacking tools instead of the standard electrode winding technology.
According to the current research and development situation, the mass energy density of batteries in the future may exceed 340. Wh/？ Kg, but the company did not disclose the current figure. Another goal is that the energy density will exceed 1250 by 2022? What? /L, and the cycle life exceeds 1000 times. The factory expects to deliver batteries by the end of 2020. With the increase of output in 20021and 2022, the annual output can reach 8 million batteries.
Enovix also signed new agreements with two other portable electronic companies. At present, the company has reached agreements with four major customers to develop and produce silicon anode lithium-ion batteries for portable electronic devices. Once fully launched, it is estimated that the annual revenue will reach 250 million US dollars. Based on the successful application of 3D silicon lithium-ion battery technology in portable electronic devices, Enovix is currently cooperating with leading international automobile manufacturers to develop its patented battery technology for the electric vehicle (EV) market. Preliminary research and development shows that the battery can achieve a weight energy density greater than 340? Wh/kg, the cost is equal to or lower than the current industry forecast. Enovix is expected to supply the electric vehicle market within five years.
