The Electric: Silicon Anodes and an Emerging U.S. Hub for Next-Gen Batteries

A third U.S. silicon anode maker says it is building a battery materials plant at Moses Lake, Wash., which is fast becoming a major hub for the production of next-generation silicon anodes. California-based OneD Battery Sciences said Wednesday that by the middle of 2027 it will begin manufacturing enough silicon-based anodes to equip 500,000 electric vehicles a year, substantially boosting their driving range and fast-charging capability.
