From the Corporate update we can see Coretec is set to become a leader in the silicon materials space !!! Cortetec on the way to becoming a very successful company !!
Coretec’s lead product candidate is cyclohexasilane or Si6H12 (CHS), a liquid that converts to poly-silane when exposed to heat or UV irradiation, followed by conversion to amorphous silicon and ultimately crystalline silicon. The Coretec group believes further development and eventual commercialization of the product will result in improved performance, reduced cost, simplified manufacturing, and safer handling when compared to the more traditionally used mono-silane.
There are many potential advanced applications for CHS, spanning the high growth industries of solar energy, energy storage, sensors, volumetric imaging and semiconductors, among others. For example, battery manufacturers and application developers for a number of industries’ increased dependence on lithium, cobalt and other minerals have caused the cost of these battery components to rise, ultimately impacting the overall cost of the application itself. CHS represents an alternative to many of these mineral components, with the potential to both increase efficiency and output while simultaneously driving down cost.
Led by its VP of technology, Dr. Ramez Elgammal, the Coretec Group has continued to establish strong relationships with partners and customers, including both original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and the product support value chain in key industries such as electric cars, personal electronics, semiconductor, solar, and LEDs. In May, Dr. Elgammal attended The Battery Show Europe where he observed strong interest in new anode materials to deliver greater energy density, and longer lasting and faster charging batteries, especially silicon-based ones. Many groups he spoke with expressed interest in integrated technologies that use silicon-based anodes to design next generation solid-state batteries, and view Coretec’s CHS as a potential key to reaching that objective.
