Decades a few more years before Li-ion batteries ended up in laptops, smartphones, power tools, scooties and so on. in EVs<br \/>\n    <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"story-block\">\n<p>Over the years, numerous versions of the battery have&nbsp;been commercialised, such as lithium iron phosphate (LiFEPo4). However, the fundamental Li-ion architecture remains&nbsp;the same. Sadana &amp; Co have changed the architecture at the most constituent parts.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"story-block\">\n<p>Typically, today\u2019s Li-on batteries have a 1:1.2 cathode-to-anode ratio in terms of unit of measurement. By using POSi\u2019s alloyed lithium silicon anode battery technology, this limitation no longer holds \u2014 thus \u201cdecoupling\u201d the cathode and anode.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"story-block\">\n<div class=\"story-block pull-left\">\n<div class=\"fact-box\">\n<div class=\"fact-box-title\">FOCUS ON THE ANODE<\/div>\n<div class=\"fact-box-content\">\n            While Dr Goodenough pioneered Li-ion chemistry (and won a Nobel for it), Dr Sadana and his team at IBM worked exclusively on the anode, upon which they founded a company known as POSi-Energy in March 2021. <\/p>\n<p>There are fundamental differences between the Goodenough and Sadana batteries.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of using graphite (or its derivative) in the anode, Sadana uses an alloyed lithium silicon. This, he claims, offers two key advantages:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 First: It \u201cdecouples\u201d the cathode and the anode\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b in terms of usage ratio. This makes the Sadana battery more flexible, when used in next-generation Li-ion batteries. The amount of energy that can be squeezed into the pack can be pre-defined. <\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Second: Its charging power \u2014 energy density \u2014 is doubled. Traditional graphite-anode based batteries have power densities limited up to 4 to 5 mili-ampere hours per square centimetres (mAh\/cm2). Sadana said his solution poses no such limits. \u201cWe have already created a cell that delivers more than 10 mAh\/cm2\u201d.\n        <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"story-block\">\n<h2>Has it been patented?<\/h2>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"story-block\">\n<p>Yes. POSi has the patent for the new battery. Dr. Sadana, who spent 33 years as IBM researcher, holds about 100 patents in energy-related inventions. The last few years of his IBM stint focussed almost solely on battery research.
