      <title>Silicon Anode Batteries Explained: Sila and Group14 Move From Chemistry to Factory Scale</title>
      <description>Silicon anode batteries promise cell-level energy densities above 400 Wh/kg, roughly 40-60% better than graphite-anode lithium-ion cells. This explainer covers the chemistry behind the density advantage, the volume expansion problem, the three main engineering approaches (Si/C composites, SiOx, silicon nanowires), the companies now at automotive scale, and the remaining challenges before silicon anodes reach mass-market EVs.</description>
