Floatech is a company dedicated to the manufacture of silicon nanostructures, with the aim of using them in the anodes of next-generation electric batteries. The silicon can extend the range of batteries by up to 50%, enable four times faster charging, and reduce their weight to one tenth of conventional lithium batteries.
The company has developed a unique production process that makes it possible to obtain nanostructures of this material that are ideal for implementation in the mobility sector. As a result, Floatech will be able to obtain batteries with greater energy storage and delivery capacity.
Floatech is a spin-off from the IMDEA Institute for Materials, where the value proposition and capacity of the technology has already been validated. For this reason, the company is fully focused on collaborating with key players in the sector, jointly developing the different components of the new batteries and ensuring their maximum performance. Once this joint research is advanced, Floatech will focus its efforts on expanding its production capacity and achieving greater efficiency in its operations.
Mass adoption of its product in the new generation of batteries would facilitate the growth of e-mobility, phasing out combustion engines.
Similarly, a longer range of electric batteries leads to a reduction in their carbon footprint per unit. This is because the vast majority of emissions are a consequence of their production process and the materials extracted to create them, so achieving a longer lifespan would reduce the average carbon emissions per battery over its lifetime.
Finally, the implementation of its production process would reduce energy consumption compared to the traditional manufacturing process by 25% and would eliminate the need to consume additional materials, such as additives, to integrate the anode into the battery cell.
