Group14 Technologies

Silicon-carbon batteries are coming to billions of devices, and Group14 is helping make it happen. 🔋 CNET's Abrar Al-Heeti took a deep look at why phone battery life still frustrates so many of us, and where the technology is headed. We were glad to be part of the conversation. Our CTO and Co-founder, Rick Costantino, explained what makes Group14's approach different: rather than coating silicon with carbon, we build a carbon scaffold to house the silicon, giving it room to expand and stay stable over thousands of cycles. As Rick put it: "You have the best of both worlds: You have this high-capacity material that also is protected in that carbon scaffold." Thank you to Abrar for the time and for telling this story so well. The shift to silicon is real, it's accelerating, and we're proud to be at the center of it. 🔗 Read more: https://lnkd.in/g7qcKVrm #BatteryTechnology #SiliconBattery #CellPhones

🔋 Proud to share that Group14 is featured in #TheBatteryLife, the first documentary series dedicated to #energystorage innovation in the #PacificNorthwest. Congratulations to Grayson Shor and the Pacific Northwest Battery Collaborative on bringing this to life. It's great to be featured alongside ZincFive, Inc., Washington Clean Energy Testbeds, Elexity, Emerald Battery Labs, and the other teams pushing this industry forward. The silicon battery era is here, and we're glad to see it documented. Episodes drop this summer. Comment "add" on the original post for early access. 🎬 #SiliconBattery #BatteryTech #PacificNorthwest

From the silicon battery material production floor to the customer, Erica makes sure nothing gets lost in between. 🔋🌍 Group14 Technical Program Manager Erica Eggleton sits at the intersection of deep technical expertise and real-world impact. With a PhD in chemical engineering focused on energy storage and e-mobility, she bridges the worlds of applications engineering and business development, working directly with global partners to bring our material into their technology. Read more about how Erica's work helps turn battery innovation into energy solutions 👇 What is your role at Group14?  💬I am a Technical Program Manager on the Business Development team. I work directly with customers to support the integration of our material into their technology, while collaborating across R&D, Product, and Quality to ensure we deliver on their technical needs. What attracted you to Group14? 💬I’ve always been passionate about the clean energy transition and believe electrification is the key to that future. After finishing my PhD in chemical engineering, Group14 felt like the perfect place to apply my technical background while learning more about the industry. What keeps me excited is that I get to combine that technical foundation with customer relationship building to develop real-world solutions at scale. What's one thing you're particularly proud of achieving, or contributing to, since you started working at Group14?  💬I’m also proud of the community outreach work I’ve been involved in through our work with IGNITE and the Boys & Girls Club. It is incredibly rewarding to watch kids make those technical connections for the first time and get excited about the future of energy. If you could swap jobs with anyone for a day, who would it be and what would you do? 💬I’m very interested in the intersection of energy policy and science communication, so I’d love to experience a 'day in the life' of a policy analyst at a think tank or government agency. It would be fascinating to see how high-level discussions around the energy transition take shape. I’d love to bring my technical perspective to those conversations to help bridge the gap between complex battery science and the policies that will ultimately drive clean energy adoption. What’s one trend, innovation, or big idea in the battery industry that you’re excited to see unfold? 💬I’m excited to see vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology become more mainstream. EVs store a lot of energy, and they can help create a more stable grid that supports electrification. Having batteries with long cycle lives and high capacity helps make this technology possible.    Do you have a favorite activity or creative outlet?  💬I am a very avid knitter! I always have multiple projects going at a time. Right now, I have a pair of socks, a cardigan, and a blanket on my needles. What’s something currently at the top of your bucket list?  💬I would love to go on a cross-country trip by train/public transit only.

1 ton of our silicon battery material can replace 5 tons of graphite. SCC55® is already in millions of products, scaling globally. For decades, graphite has been the default anode. It's familiar, but it sets limits on how fast batteries charge, how much energy they store, and how much material is required to reach higher performance. Silicon changes that. SCC55 enables extreme fast charging, increases energy density by up to 50%, and drops into existing manufacturing lines. No new factories. No reset required. The transition is quiet. The results aren't. https://lnkd.in/gNBWwAVW

New signage just went up at our South Korea factory. 🌸 🔋 A small detail, but a visible marker of progress as we scale production globally. This site plays a key role in expanding output of our silicon battery materials, supporting the growing demand across transportation, energy storage, and consumer electronics. We’re continuing to build the team in South Korea. If you’re interested in shaping the future of battery performance, we’re hiring. Check out open roles at group14.technology/ko!

Thanks to the San Francisco Tribune for recognizing Group14 among companies redefining the energy economy. What’s driving that shift is simple: performance. Our SCC55® battery material replaces traditional graphite anodes with silicon, delivering higher energy density and much faster charging within today’s battery manufacturing ecosystem. And right now, when supply chains, trade, and energy security are under pressure, performance at scale—and the ability to protect and manufacture it—matters more than ever. Now scaling across electric mobility, consumer electronics, and grid storage, this is what it looks like when battery innovation moves from lab to commercial scale. https://lnkd.in/gnDgx_A6

Silicon batteries aren’t a future concept. They’re here and scaling.   In a conversation with Energy Digital, our CEO Rick (Eric) Luebbe shared:   “Silicon batteries are the biggest leap forward in battery technology since graphite became standard in the early 1990s.”   That shift is showing up in the market now. Large-scale EV deployment is expected as early as 2026.   Read the full Q&A here: https://lnkd.in/gavrTejc
