Matthew Kappers is the CEO of The Coretec Group. The Coretec Group is known for their expertise in silicon nanoparticles to push the boundaries of silicon engineering and battery development. They are using their main expertise to develop an anode with a high concentration of silicon that will significantly boost the performance of lithium-ion batteries.
In this podcast we are going to talk about anodes and how these anodes could potentially be used with other types of batteries and other types of electrolytes. Let us hear from Matthew Kappers on how he and his team work with anodes, which is what makes their company so special!
Besides being an informative discussion, it was also a good conversation, which you can now join!
Here is a list of the topics we cover:
- Coretec Group's Endurion battery technology
- Silicon nanoparticles
- Anodes
- Solid Electrolyte Interface (SEI) layer
- Increasing lithium ion battery capacity by 100% with 20% silicon
- Most EV batteries have no silicon
- 100% silicon anode would increase capacity 10x
- Drop in solution
- Partner with battery manufacturer
- Patents
- Silicon vs. silicone
- Specific energy is per weight
- Energy density is energy per volume
- Most people say energy density when they mean specific energy

- Driving an EV across the country with one charge
- Rocket equation for Cannonball Run
- Earth by weight there is more iron than anything else
- Battery recycling
- 2nd life batteries
- Vehicle to grid (V2G)
- EV less expensive per kWh than home battery
- Lead toxicity
