HPQ CEO Bernard Tourillon sat down with AGORACOM to discuss the latest milestone achieved by Novacium SAS—surpassing 1,000 cycles with its GEN3 silicon-anode battery technology.
This breakthrough highlights the real-world advantages of integrating silicon-based anodes into commercial lithium-ion batteries and what it means for the future of energy storage.
In the interview, Tourillon provides additional information on key findings from the latest battery performance tests, explaining how Novacium’s GEN3 18650 batteries maintain a capacity of over 3,000 mAh even after 1,000 cycles—an 18% improvement over traditional graphite-based cells. He also discusses the 30% increase in total energy throughput, the benefits of a stable, linear degradation profile, and why these results position silicon-anode materials as a next-generation solution for battery manufacturers.
