About Enovix

Industries of the future—Artificial Intelligence, Edge computing, 5G, Electric Vehicles, Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality—all require greater battery energy capacity. Building and scaling a 100% active silicon anode has long been a goal of the battery industry because it dramatically increases capacity and performance. Enovix, based in Fremont, California, is the first company in the world to be capable of volume production of advanced Lithium-ion batteries with a 100% active silicon anode using its 3D cell architecture. The company has designed, developed and sampled advanced Lithium-ion batteries with energy densities five years ahead of current industry production. Enovix’s initial goal is to provide designers of category-leading mobile devices with a high-energy battery so they can create more innovative and effective portable products. Enovix is also developing its 3D cell technology and production process for the EV and energy storage markets to help widespread use of renewable energy.
