Who Is Paraclete Energy?

See the SM-Silicon/3590​™ Video

Paraclete Energy, Inc. manufactures high-capacity, nanoparticle Surface-Modified SM-Silicon™. This Surface Modifier acts as an artificial SEI for cycle stability. SM-Silicon™ is priced like graphite in production quantities. Paraclete has sold tons of its SM-Silicon™.

Paraclete Energy Is the Answer to the Commercially Viable Silicon Supply Chain and Performance Issues of the Li-Ion Battery Industry

Paraclete has already sold tons of its SM-Silicon™ to the Li-ion battery industry. Paraclete Energy’s SM-Architecture™ enables its customers to optimize the characteristics and properties of high-capacity silicon metal that makes SM-Silicon™ both commercially viable and unique and therefore proprietary just to them. This capability creates a platform for continuous improvement of the negative electrode. Paraclete Energy’s high-capacity silicon-metal-based SM-Silicon™ thereby becomes the customer’s optimized product for their specific batteries’ proprietary formulation.

SM-Silicon™

SM-Silicon™ is sold in 100g bottles, 10kg buckets or 100kg drums to companies in and suppliers to the battery industry for producing a premium product.

SM-Silicon/PL™

Pre-lithiated nanoparticle SM-Silicon/PL™ has a proprietary surface modifier that acts as a protective shell from air and moisture and has an artificial SEI. SM-Silicon/PL™ is scalable and commercially viable given it is stable and will thereby be safe to use in standard industry aqueous based processes used for making anode slurries.

Professional Design, Optimization and Rapid Prototyping Services

Paraclete Energy will work with prospects and customers to design and then produce for their own testing proof-of-concept SM-Silicon™ based cells. This will include designing and optimizing the surface modification and the cell architecture that will be required to meet the specific high energy and/or high power or a combination of both objectives for a specific application, to include but not limited to $/kWh, Wh/kg, Wh/L, Ah and time/distance between recharge.
