The Technology

Metal air battery based on Si anode using highly doped and metalized Silicon. The high dopants concentration increases Si wafers conductivity. The battery has undetectable self-discharge rate

Advantages

  • High density energy source
  • High tolerance to relative humidity
  • Infinite shelf life

Applications and Opportunities

  • Electric cars
  • Small scale medical devices – hearing aids, insulin pump
