矽碳陽極技術進展
Sila 獲得 14 億美元五角大樓貸款以擴建 Moses Lake 廠房
Sila 宣布獲美國國防部提供 14 億美元貸款，以擴大其位於華盛頓州 Moses Lake 工廠的矽碳負極材料產能。這種材料設計上可提供比傳統石墨負極更高的能量密度，有助生產續航力更長或重量更輕的電池。
Moses Lake 廠房於 9 月開始投產，現時每年約可生產 2 GWh 負極材料。Sila 計劃將工廠產能擴大約五倍，令產能足以供應超過 10 萬輛電動車所需電池。公司亦於 7 月籌得 3 億美元資金，並已與 Mercedes 及 Panasonic 訂立現有商業合作協議。
對國防及交通運輸客戶而言，矽碳負極有助支援無人機及電動車等應用領域所需的高性能電池。美國國防部是次提供資金，亦反映美國正加緊努力，強化本土電池材料供應鏈，減少對由中國主導的石墨生產的依賴。
英文原文
Sila announced a $1.4 billion loan from the U.S. Department of Defense to expand production of its silicon-carbon anode material at its Moses Lake, Washington, factory. The material is designed to offer higher energy density than conventional graphite anodes, supporting longer-lasting or lighter batteries.
The Moses Lake facility began operating in September and currently produces about 2 GWh of anode material annually. Sila plans to expand the plant roughly fivefold, creating enough capacity to supply batteries for more than 100,000 EVs. The company also raised $300 million in July and has existing commercial agreements with Mercedes and Panasonic.
For defense and mobility customers, silicon-carbon anodes could support higher-performance batteries for applications such as drones and electric vehicles. The Pentagon financing also reflects growing U.S. efforts to strengthen domestic battery-material supply chains and reduce dependence on China-dominated graphite production.
