Emerging producer of critical minerals and technology
High Purity Silicon (HPS) Anodes
Vytas’ High Purity Silicon (HPS)
Vytas has produced a nano-porous HPS using a process optimized in its own laboratory.
The Company intends to explore the potential to use a low cost, low energy, more environmentally friendly method to convert the nano-porous silica material from the White Peaks and Ajana Silica Projects to a nano-porous silicon, which is suitable for:
silicon anode material for lithium-ion batteries (LiB); and
silicon anodes for the electrolysis process for the production of Green Hydrogen
Silicon Anodes for Lithium-Ion Batteries
The use of nano-porous silicon as an anode material for lithium-ion batteries (LiB) is well documented. Nano-porous silicon has numerous benefits over traditionally used graphite including:
10x greater charge density for enhanced performance
Significantly greater surface area for faster charging
Vytas will seek partnerships with battery manufacturers to commercialise this material.
Silicon Anodes for Green Hydrogen
Silicon is considered both conductive and non-corrosive, and therefore the use of the nano-porous silicon anode material will enable current electrolyzes to use saline (incl. seawater) and other non-beneficial water sources, preserving our fresh water for future generations.
Vytas will seek partnerships with anode manufacturers to commercialise this material.
