Tesla confirmed that it quietly acquired Colorado-based battery startup SiILion, Inc., in a new patent for a silicon-based battery anode.

While silicon has 10 times the capacity of graphite currently used in battery anodes, it expands three-fold during charge cycles. This has prevented its widespread adoption, but Williams reports that SiILion has developed additives for the silicon anode which preserve the battery cell's physical and architectural integrity.
