Amprius ( AMPX ) silicons listed in one of their patents are silicons and types of silanes that Coretec has already compared its CHS to and found to have lower depositons temperatures and higher yields which all come into play with making a silicon anode.
Amprius silanes listed from the patent : Any approptiate silicon source may be used for the non-conformal and conformal silicon layers including ; ( Monosilane ) silane SiH4 , Dichlorosilane ( H2SiCl2 ) , Monocchlorosilane ( H3SiCL ) Diphenylsilane ( The CEA mentioned this silane as one they compared CHS to ) Trichlorosilane ( HSiCL3 ) and Silicon tetrachloride ( SiCl4 ) to form silicon layers .
Coretec said these types of traditionally used silanes nanoparticles i mentioned above are not able to be functionalized at small nanoparticle sizes like CHS derived silicon nanoparticles and CHS to begin with can be made smaller . So the SEI layer now being formed on CHS custom made silicon nanoparticles are superior for several reasons .It can be a bit complicated for thse of us who are not chemists but Coretec has provided a lot of information and other companies have a lot of patents out there to compare Coretecs siicon anode active material to . Ive been told recently by one of the top people in the materials business that the semi conductor ndustry has been wanting this material ( CHS ) for a long time . As we know its ready for use in anodes but needs to have the process refined more to get for one a more pure material so it can be applied to semi conductors something they dont have to do to apply CHS for anode materials

Nice synopsis of the place we find ourselves with regard to CHS. I have run a lot of scenarios through my head and I am pretty much in agreement with what you've said and it is the conclusion that seems to make the most sense. The interesting detail is that CHS is not a material that Coretec has exclusive rights to. Any company can use it if (BIG IF) they can acquire it. Coretec's patent on CHS synthesis was filed in March of 2020 and it literally could receive approval by the patent office any day. The point being that Coretec has a route to obtaining all the CHS they want, while other companies would either have to source it from elsewhere or make it themselves. (NOT using Coretec's patent of course) I recently had a discussion with the CHAT bot concerning the Coretec patent on silicon anode materials, and based on the portions of the patent I pasted into the discussion, CHAT suggested that manufacture of the materials listed in the patent would be highly dependant on the inclusion of CHS in their manufacture. CHS likely has incredible value, but it appears that Coretec sees even greater value in using the material to develop their own products - aka Endurion battery. Forward looking, they also noted recently that they are working on solid state batteries and that CHS or Endurion technology is applicable in this arena as well. Bottom line, it appears that Coretec has elected to not be a materials company only and instead pursue development of a high tech product using a material they arguably have the market cornered on. I am looking forward to seeing how this all plays out.
