US: Amprius “achieves silicon anode breakthrough”

Stanford University scientist Yi Cui, founder of the battery start-up Amprius, is reported by Greentech Media to have achieved a breakthrough with anodes made of silicon nanotubes. A silicon oxide coating stops the silicon nanotube from expanding, keeping it separated from the electrolyte, and thus extending the battery’s cycle life.
