Sila Nanotechnologies

Sila is the developer of a groundbreaking silicon battery technology for lithium-ion cells. Sila’s anode, Titan Silicon™, breaks through the energy limits imposed by traditional cells powered by graphite, delivering the highest performance required by next-generation electric drones and robotic vehicles.

Boasting up to five times the energy capacity per gram and two times per cm³, Sila’s Titan Silicon enables longer mission times, higher payloads, and faster charging times. Titan Silicon is 100% U.S. made for NDAA-compliant supply.

Titan Silicon

Revolutionary silicon anode for enhanced energy density & battery performance

Based on over ten years of research and development, Sila’s cutting-edge silicon anode provides a 20% increase in energy density over the industry’s best-performing cells, and an even greater increase against standard graphite performance. This significant enhancement has been developed without compromising battery longevity or safety. Titan Silicon has achieved over 2000 cycles in applications requiring long cycle life, and contains swell to levels comparable to graphite.

With higher energy capacity, this market-proven technology also enables fast charging of less than 10 minutes with a very low energy penalty.

Powering the next generation of electric unmanned flight

Titan Silicon’s advanced capabilities enhance the performance of lithium-ion batteries, making it an ideal solution for electric drones and eVTOL platforms. The technology provides a wide range of advantages for commercial UAVs, cargo delivery drones, and air mobility platforms, including:

• Longer flight times & operational ranges – Titan Silicon provides higher capacity within the same pack size, delivering a boost in performance with the same footprint
• Greater payload capacity – at the same capacity, batteries can be made up to 15% lighter and up to 25% smaller, providing more room in the weight budget for additional payloads, sensors, and cargo
• Faster charging – drone batteries can be recharged in less than 15 minutes, minimizing downtime
• Longer cycle life – conduct more missions without having to replace the battery pack, saving time and expenditure

Sila’s Titan Silicon is manufactured to automotive-quality standards in the U.S., for reliable, NDAA-compliant supply.

High-capacity production & flexible integration

Titan Silicon has been created with manufacturability foremost in mind, and is compatible with any cell size and shape, including pouch, cylindrical, and prismatic. Titan Silicon drops into the cell manufacturers’ processes and supply chains, enabling seamless production of drone and unmanned systems batteries at scale.

Sila operates two U.S.-based production facilities, including the largest silicon anode plant in the western world, with the capacity to meet manufacturing requirements and delivery timelines.

Sila also offers a comprehensive suite of Battery Engineering Services that can deliver highly-optimized cell performance to suit your exact specifications.
