Sila’s core technology is Titan Silicon, a nano-composite silicon anode material that replaces graphite in lithium-ion batteries. It delivers 20% higher energy density, uses 50% less space, and weighs 80% less. Batteries using Titan Silicon charge from 10% to 80% in about 20 minutes while maintaining cycle stability. Sila manufactures the material via a precision-controlled process compatible with existing battery production infrastructure.
Titan Silicon anode material: a silicon-graphite nano-composite offering 20% higher energy density, 50% volume reduction, 80% weight reduction, and fast charging (10% to 80% in ~20 minutes) with stable cycle life.
In 2024, Sila advanced construction of its Moses Lake, Washington manufacturing facility, scheduled for completion in 2025, with production of Titan Silicon starting in 2025. The company secured $375 million in Series G funding, partnered with local technical schools for workforce development, and expanded collaboration with Panasonic for electric vehicle battery production.
Key investors include Coatue (led $590M Series F), Sutter Hill Ventures (led $375M Series G), T. Rowe Price Associates, Bessemer Venture Partners, Canada Pension Plan Investment Board, Daimler, and Samsung; total funding exceeds $1.4B.
