Director, Marketing & Communications

Group14 Technologies is an advanced materials company specializing in silicon battery technology for next-generation energy storage applications. The company develops and manufactures SCC55®, a patented silicon carbon composite anode material that replaces conventional graphite in lithium-ion batteries, delivering significant improvements in energy density, charge speed, and cycle life. Their technology enables batteries that can charge from 0 to 100 percent in 90 seconds, achieve a 43 percent boost in energy density, and sustain up to 3,000 charge cycles. Group14's mission is to accelerate global electrification by making silicon battery technology commercially viable at scale. The company targets key sectors including electric vehicles, consumer electronics, grid-scale energy storage, data centers, and electric aviation. By displacing imported graphite with domestically manufactured silicon anode materials, Group14 also aims to strengthen energy materials supply chain security in the United States and allied nations, contributing to a more resilient and sustainable clean energy infrastructure. What distinguishes Group14 is its position as the only company manufacturing silicon battery materials at true EV-scale, with 10 GWh of capacity currently online at a factory in Sangju, South Korea, and 20 GWh of additional capacity planned in Washington State by 2027. The company also operates a silane production facility in Spreetal, Germany. With over 200 issued patents, more than 25 million devices enabled by SCC55®, and approximately one billion dollars in equity raised, Group14 has established itself as a leading commercial force in the silicon battery era.
