R2R Production of 100% Silicon Anodes

GDI will reveal a fully domestic and secure supply-chain from quartz mines in the Southern US and
EU to gas supply from the Western US and Europe, to anode production in the Northeast US and Benelux/Germany. This leverages an existing US/EU mineral feedstock and a dependable and
resilient precursor supply to manufacture 100% silicon anodes in the US and EU, economically and at
large scale. GDI will share data and demonstrations from 3rd party cell makers that its 100% silicon
anodes can be made in existing factories using NATO coating equipment, and foil. Technical
insights covering the key industry challenges to integration of silicon into Li-ion anodes, how to
overcome electrode expansion and contraction, increased electrochemical reactions, and 3rd party
cell prototypes.
