Sili Energy won the Bronze award at the 2025 Edison Awards, a prestigious awards ceremony in the United States.
Sili Energy announced that its lithium metal cathode technology won an award in the 'EV Power Solution' category. The winning technology is a three-dimensional lithium electrode that suppresses dendrite occurrence and a large-area (400 cm²), ultra-thin (20 μm) lithium electrode manufacturing technology based on it. The electrode was developed with the goal of application to various electrified devices such as electric vehicles, robots, and drones, and is characterized by being implemented in the form of lithium metal powder that can be produced in large areas through a roll printing process. This technology is a patented technology that Sili Energy developed for the first time in the world in 2022.
Currently, the global lithium metal electrode market is monopolized by Japanese companies centered on flat lithium foils, and this method has limitations in thin film and large-area production, and has technical problems such as vulnerability to dendrite suppression. Sili Energy is evaluated to have secured differentiated competitiveness through technology that overcomes these existing limitations.
Previously, Sili Energy won the Best Innovation Award in the ‘Electronic Components and Materials’ category at the 2024 Korea Electronics Show (KES) with the same technology.
The Edison Awards were established in 1987 to honor the achievements of inventor Thomas Edison, and each year they select excellent examples in the fields of new products, services, design, and technological innovation. Around 7,000 products are submitted each year, and a judging panel of around 3,000 experts selects the winners after a seven-month review. In the past, global companies such as Apple, Nvidia, SpaceX, IBM, and Boeing, as well as domestic companies such as SK and LG, have won the awards.
Jeong Kyoung-Jin, CEO of Sili Energy, said, “Following the KES Awards, we have once again been recognized for our technological prowess by winning at the most prestigious innovation technology awards ceremony in the U.S. We will continue to work on scaling up the supply of the technology to customers and mass production.”
