[{"type":"text","content":"Novacium's Silicon-Anode Batteries Exceed 1,000 Cycles, Outperforming Commercial 18650 CellsWhile Maintaining Exceptional Capacity and Durability\n\n\n\n MONTREAL, March 19, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --\n \n\n HPQ Silicon Inc.\n \n\n (“HPQ” or the “Company”) (\n \n\n TSX-V: HPQ\n \n\n\n ,\n \n\n\n OTCQB: HPQFF\n \n\n ,\n \n\n FRA: O08\n \n\n ), a technology company specializing\n \n in green engineering processes\n \n is excited to update shareholders on the latest battery results at the\n \n 1,000-cycle milestone\n \n\n [1]\n \n from its France-based affiliate,\n \n NOVACIUM SAS (Novacium)\n \n .\n \n\n The Novacium GEN3 18650 batteries demonstrate exceptional performance, maintaining a capacity of over 3,000 mAh even after 1,000 cycles. Impressively, these batteries retain approximately 80% of their original capacity at this milestone, delivering 18% more capacity than traditional graphite benchmark batteries. This translates into a substantial cumulative energy gain of 30% over graphite-based alternatives after 1,000 cycles\n \n [1]\n \n .\n \n\n\n Excellent capacity behaviour during testing\n \n\n\n\n Batteries with Novacium GEN3 silicon-based anode material exhibit a slow and linear capacity decrease over their lifespan (1,000 cycles).\n \n This sets them apart from most similar batteries, which typically experience a rapid capacity drop within the first hundred cycles before the decline slows down. A linear degradation profile is advantageous as it\n \n enables precise modeling of capacity\n \n retention over time, facilitating more accurate lifetime performance predictions. Additionally, it\n \n maximizes cumulative energy throughput\n \n by mitigating early-stage capacity losses, thereby enhancing overall battery\n \n efficiency and longevity\n \n .\n \n\n\n “Reaching the\n \n\n\n 1,000-cycle milestone\n \n\n\n with such outstanding results\n \n\n\n [1]\n \n\n\n , especially under a realistic testing protocol, is a powerful validation of Novacium’s unique and commanding expertise in blending proprietary advanced silicon-based materials with high-grade artificial graphite. This combination creates an anode material that can be seamlessly integrated into commercial lithium-ion batteries, regardless of their size (18650, 21700, 26650, or 4680),”\n \n said Dr. Jed K...
