I had a bit more of a look at Nyobolt and they're claiming to use a "Niobium based anode". I'm not sure if there's any connection to Talga with this.

The other one that stands out is Dr Fengming Liu who is a Senior Scientist for Talga. He was a co-founder of Nexeon before joining Talga.

Nexeon were spun out of the Imperial College London and are working on silicone anode materials.

They are developing two types of silicon material solution: NSP-1 and NSP-2. I wonder if Talga will use NSP-1 in Talnode Si.

NSP-1 is a silicon-based composite powder designed for use in hybrid or low-loading anode electrodes (recommended use up to 10wt.% loading). It can be used to enhance existing graphite anode electrode active materials and is designed to provide improved cell capacity. Typical initial anode capacity is 400 – 450mAh/g.NSP-2 is a silicon-based material designed for use in high loading anode electrode formulations (up to 80 wt.%); it delivers a significant increase in anode energy capacity and capacity density.

NSP-2 is a silicon-based material designed for use in high loading anode electrode formulations (up to 80 wt.%); it delivers a significant increase in anode energy capacity and capacity density. NSP-2 mitigates expansion through the use of engineered porosity at the particle level in combination with optimized anode design.
