GDI produces fully silicon-based anodes for lithium-ion batteries using Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD), aiming to bypass conventional anode production steps such as mixing, coating, drying, and calendering. Third-party testing cited energy densities up to 350 Wh/kg and 1000 Wh/L, faster charging, and stable operation down to −40°C. The company is building manufacturing capacity via roll-to-roll production lines in Germany and New York State and expects initial commercial output within about 18 months. GDI is partnering with AGC on the PlasmaMax platform and targets gigawatt-hour production capacity by 2031. It has assembled an intellectual property portfolio of roughly 80 patent documents across North America, Europe, and Asia. The recent $15M funding is intended to finance early industrial-scale production and commercialization efforts.
