The Coretec Group Inc
The Future is Now
The Coretec Group, Inc.™Advancing Technology for Promising Markets, such as energy storage, solar, solid state lighting, printable electronics and 3D displays.
The Coretec Group, Inc. is headquarted in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Formed from the recent merger of 3DIcon Corporation® (3DIcon) and Coretec Industries, LLC, The Coretec Group's innovative technology is based on the production of a high value silicon precursor, cyclohexasilane Si6H12 (CHS) and the development of a 3D volumetric display (CSpace™).
A key advantage of CHS is being a liquid precursor to silicon-containing electronic materials versus the commonly used gaseous monosilane (SiH4). As a liquid precursor, CHS offers the ability to use solution-based processing routes leading to safer handling, more efficient materials utilization, significant cost savings and performance enhancing material structures. Another key advantage of CHS is the lower temperature for decomposition of CHS to silicon, leading to the use of a broader range of substrates, many of which are lower cost. Monosilane requires high temperatures (500 - 800°C) for decomposition to silicon, whereas CHS forms silicon at temperatures as low as 300°C. In addition, during the decomposition of CHS, the rate at which silicon is formed increases by a factor of six relative to monosilane, leading to significant cost savings due to the increased rate of production. The company anticipates that CHS will first be used as an alternative to current methods to introducing silicon into lithium ion batteries or when manufacturing silicon-based microelectronics and printable/flexible electronics
May 2, 2018 Ceo Blog : New Possibilities for Li-ion Batteries
Throughout 2018, I look forward to introducing you to the most promising CHS markets and applications, beginning with our energy storage focus. An exciting article was published recently in The Wall Street Journal, which validates not only our focus to improve battery performance, but also the potential of CHS's silcon-based technology to do just that. Here is a summary of how The Coretec Group's technology is poised to make it happen.
Lithium ion batteries are a dominant source of energy storage for portable applications, ranging from electronic devices to electric car batteries. For years, advances have been made in energy cycle lifetime, cost and performance. However, continued market growth remains dependent on further improvements in energy density, while maintaining current cost and cycle lifetime.
Coretecs HexaSilane's unique liquid state makes it possible to increase energy density by replacing the graphite anode, commonly used in lithium-ion batteries,
with silicon-carbon nanostructures and alloys. These materials store more lithium ions- the energy source of a battery-, while demonstrating improved cycle lifetime and cost performance

3D Volumetric Displays : CSpace 
CSpace™ is a unique 3D display technology that is designed to produce high-resolution full-color, true 3D images. The display does not require special viewing aids or glasses, does not cause viewer fatigue during prolonged use, and is capable of producing surface rendered solid looking or translucent images for viewing inside of objects, such as human organs, cargo containers, baggage, ocean or terrain features, or troop carriers, all of which are beyond the visualization capabilities of current display technologies. Displays based on CSpace™ have potential applications in fields including medical imaging, passenger baggage and cargo scanning, military performance-mission planning, tactical awareness and decision support, post engagement assessment-engineering, geospatial exploration, education and training applications, entertainment applications, air traffic control systems, space transportation systems, and earth science research, among others.

Technology for Advanced Markets
Coretec HexaSilane™
Coretec HexaSilane (CHS) is a cyclohexasilane (Si6H12) that is processed as a liquid, leading to the use of lower cost solution based processes when compared to traditional gas-state silanes. Its novel composition delivers six times the silicon in one molecule*, making it an excellent source of silicon in applications including energy storage, solar, solid state lighting, microelectronics and printable electronics.
From the June 7, 2018 Michael Kraft interview with AltEnergy Mag.com
How is The Coretec Group working to leverage this technology?
We are working with leading energy storage companies to help them take advantage of the CHS material characteristics mentioned above, as well as other innovators in the other markets mentioned that span a number of applications.
I would like to make a key point here: Coretec is not betting on which product design will win a majority of the market, as we are not a one-product, nor one-market participant. For example: there are dozens of Si anode battery designs out there, however, we are working with several of them, and anticipate there are more that will realize they need a better Si precursor. This increases our chances of being a part of the winning Si anode battery. We anticipate doing this in a similar manner for all markets which need a better Si precursor.
