What do cylindrical, prismatic, and pouch cell batteries have in common? They have all reached their limitations for energy storage. The primary material used in these batteries is graphite, which has reached its maximum capacity to hold energy. To improve, we need to add new materials or change the chemistry to something that holds more energy. Here's where silicon comes in—it has the potential to hold a staggering nine times more energy than graphite. So, adding a little silicon can significantly improve energy density in a variety of battery types, especially those used in electric vehicles. At ADVANO, this is exactly what we do to enhance the performance of batteries. ++++++ #BatteryInnovation #EnergyDensity #AdvancedMaterials

Let's continue innovating for the earth, our communities, and future generations. ++++++ #earthday2024 #sustainability #cleanenergy #innovationforearth ADVANO

What sets our proprietary REALSi™ technology apart is its "drop-in" nature. ❗The "drop-in" technology analogy refers to innovations or products that can be easily integrated or adopted into existing systems, infrastructure, or processes without significant modifications or overhaul. Essentially, these technologies can "drop into" place, fitting seamlessly with what is already there. In short, our technology allows seamless integration into existing battery production lines. Its ease of adoption is a game-changer for the industry. It significantly reduces the barrier to enhancing battery performance and sustainability without requiring extensive overhaul or investment. The future of battery manufacturing hinges on innovations that effortlessly mesh with current practices while offering substantial improvements—REALSi™ is that innovation. Join us in driving this sustainable, powerful change in energy storage. ⬇️ Follow as we grow our team and redefine what's possible in battery technology! ++++++ #batterytechnology #sustainability #manufacturing ADVANO

Imagine a world without 'range anxiety!' Advano is making that a reality by enhancing Li-ion batteries with its proprietary Silicon integration technology. Silicon can store up to 10 times more lithium ions than its graphite counterpart, offering up to a 50% increase in run time. This means no range anxiety, more EVs, and less CO2. Advano is making this work by solving four key issues that impact the addition of Silicon to batteries: material expansion, cycle life, cost, and drop-in manufacturing scalability. Our team is successfully tackling them all. In addition, Advano's unconventional full-stack approach allows for the battery customization manufacturers require. Advano's innovative work with Silicon is the holy grail for batteries and a beacon of hope in effectively eliminating range anxiety with EV ownership. ⬇️⬇️⬇️ Follow as we grow our team and redefine what's possible in battery technology! ++++++ #batterytechnology #electricvehicles #lithiumion ADVANO

Reflecting on the ribbon-cutting ceremony of our Specialty Pilot Plant in New Orleans earlier this year reminds us of the incredible journey and the bright future ahead. This milestone represented more than a facility opening; it's a testament to our commitment to improving batteries with our technology. To quote our CEO, J. Christopher York: "The key challenge in today’s batteries is safe energy density enhancement. At ADVANO, our proprietary silicon technologies tackle this challenge by providing cost-effective, regionally produced solutions to boost energy density in next-generation batteries!" Our REALSi™ technology, an innovation in silicon-carbon composite materials, is setting new standards for energy storage. We are enabling longer ranges and more efficient power for electric vehicles, electronics, and other applications. The path that led us here has been challenging yet rewarding, filled with learning and growth opportunities. With the unwavering support of our community, partners, and investors, we're advancing toward a sustainable, electrified future. We couldn't have done it without you. Our goal is ambitious yet clear: to lead in battery-grade silicon technology and empower the clean energy transition. We know Advano is up to the task! We are excited and grateful for the journey so far and looking forward to the road ahead.
