HPQ Silicon (TSXV:HPQ) has filed a patent application for a high-throughput silicon-based anode material manufacturing process.

This new patent builds on HPQ’s existing PUREVAP QRR patent and a pending patent for a continuous SiOx manufacturing process.

The provisional patent application outlines the apparatus and methods required for the continuous or semi-continuous production of GEN3 and beyond engineered silicon-based materials, which are crucial for the next generation of Li-ion battery anodes. This innovation is expected to significantly enhance the performance and efficiency of Li-ion batteries, making them more suitable for a wide range of applications, from consumer electronics to electric vehicles.

The microcap stock focused on the green engineering of silica and silicon-based materials is assembling a comprehensive patent portfolio that focuses on the technological building blocks necessary for a vertically integrated, low-carbon, low-cost, and high-throughput manufacturing process for high-performance silicon-based anode materials. This latest application is a key component of HPQ’s vision to lead the market in advanced battery materials.

HPQ’s France-based affiliate, Novacium, has shown a unique ability to produce silicon-based anode materials that can deliver more than 4,000 milliampere-hours (mAh) in 18,650 lithium-ion batteries under maximum discharge conditions.

“While Silicon (Si) is abundant and cost-effective, offering immense promise for advancing energy storage technology, particularly in batteries, integrating silicon into battery systems still presents technical and economic challenges,” Bernard Tourillon, president and chief executive officer of HPQ Silicon and HPQ Silica Polvere, said in a statement. “The high-performance, engineered silicon-based materials covered by this patent can overcome many of these hurdles, making it possible to unlock the full potential of silicon and turn it into a viable solution for next-generation energy storage across various industries.”

HPQ’s approach aims to address the critical challenges in the battery industry, including the need for higher energy density, longer cycle life, and reduced environmental impact. By leveraging its proprietary technologies, HPQ is in a solid position to make an impact on the future of energy storage solutions.

HPQ Silicon is a Canadian green technology stock focused on producing the critical materials needed to reach net-zero emissions. The company’s efforts are centred on fumed silica, high-purity silicon, silicon-based anode materials for battery applications, and on-demand hydrogen production.

HPQ Silicon stock (TSXV:HPQ) last traded at $0.34 per share. The stock has added 54.55 per cent since the year began.
