Coreshell's metallurgical Silicon anode technology delivers high capacity, fast-charging, and superior safety. Our low-cost Silicon-dominant batteries have higher energy density, superior intrinsic thermal safety, and significantly lower cost/kWh compared to current LIBs. Coreshell's Si anode material is lower than the cost of graphite and utilizes the largest abundant critical mineral supply in the US and Europe. We strive to transform the global energy and transportation market by enabling cost effective and secure domestic battery supply.
The Position: Coreshell is investigating novel methods of maximizing the performance of metallurgical grade silicon as an anode material for lithium-ion battery applications. The project will focus on advancing battery electrode materials by optimizing their composition processing techniques, and testing in electrochemical cells.
Project Goal: The project aims to modify the surface of our metallurgical silicon active material to improve cycle life performance.
Responsibilities
Location & Benefits: On-site in San Leandro, CA. Contractor; Hourly Rate is $22-$32/per hour.
Coreshell Technologies is an equal opportunity employer and does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy, gender identity, and sexual orientation), national origin, ancestry, age, disability, genetic information, military or veteran status, marital status, or any other protected status under California law.
