Enevate's HD Energy® technology is a unique technology that utilizes film active material vs powder-form active material. This allows for cells with high energy density, high charge rates, as well as low temperature operation while still being acceptably inexpensive and manufacturable. The technology involves electrodes that are silicon-dominant (>50% Si instead of being majority graphite). The unique characteristics of the technology as well as test data will be presented.

Ben founded Enevate in 2005 and is an expert in the areas of novel battery manufacturing techniques, battery materials screening and development, and battery chemistry. As CTO of Enevate, he is currently leading the battery development effort. He has authored over 25 technical journal and conference publications. Ben holds a PhD in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering from the University of California, Irvine, an MS in Electrical Engineering from Purdue University, and a BS in Electrical Engineering from Seoul National University in Korea.

Enevate Corporation develops and licenses advanced silicon-dominant Li-ion battery technology for electric vehicles (EVs). Enevate's pioneering advancements in silicon-dominant anodes and cells has resulted in its HD-Energy® technology that features 5-minute charging with high energy density, low temperature operation for cold climates, low cost and safety advantages over conventional graphite Li-ion batteries.
