Sila’s technology.
Patented and protected.
Over a decade of research, thousands of material iterations, and countless concepts led to the invention of Si/C, today’s modern silicon anode. Our Co-Founder and CTO, Prof. Gleb Yushin, recognized as one of the world’s leading scientific minds, originated this breakthrough battery chemistry. His early research at the Georgia Institute of Technology laid the groundwork for a technology now revolutionizing the lithium-ion battery industry.
With more than 250 patents granted and pending worldwide, Dr. Yushin’s innovation continues to drive the future of batteries.
Sila owns the foundational
intellectual property for Si/C
anodes.
