Putailai New Energy Technology and OneD Battery Sciences Enter Joint Development Agreement to Advance Silicon Anode Materials
PALO ALTO, Calif. and SHANGHAI, Nov. 4, 2025 — OneD Material Inc., operating as OneD Battery Sciences, and Shanghai Putailai New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. (Putailai) have officially announced the signing of a Joint Development Agreement (JDA) aimed at advancing the design and scaling production of next-generation silicon-graphite anode materials for lithium-ion batteries.
This collaboration marks a significant step towards enhancing lithium-ion battery technology by leveraging the strengths of both companies. Putailai will contribute its extensive manufacturing capabilities, while OneD will deploy its proprietary SINANODE® technology platform, which integrates nano-silicon into carbon substrates to boost battery performance.
Key Goals and Collaboration Highlights
-
Accelerated High-Volume Production: The joint effort focuses on rapidly scaling up the production of low-cost carbon-silicon anode materials. These materials promise to increase the energy density and reduce the costs of lithium-ion battery cells, primarily used in electric vehicles (EVs).
-
Effective Go-To-Market Strategy: Delivery of silicon-graphite anode materials to battery cell manufacturers will be facilitated through a well-established and reputable anode material supplier. This approach ensures wide accessibility across the battery industry with reliable supply chains.
-
Product Optimization and Global Reach: Together, the partners will optimize and scale products by combining Putailai’s leading carbon substrates with OneD’s deep technology and processing expertise. This collaboration targets diverse markets across Asia, Europe, and the United States, aiming to meet varied customer specifications.
Leadership Perspectives
Fang Liu, CEO of Putailai-Zichen, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, emphasizing that "partnering with OneD supports our mission to provide advanced anode materials at scale. By combining complementary capabilities, we expect to accelerate product scale and qualification and meet customers’ performance and cost objectives."
Echoing this, Jeff Chamberlain, CEO of OneD Battery Sciences, highlighted the potential impact of their joint efforts: "Through this agreement, we will combine OneD’s SINANODE technology with Putailai’s world-class graphite manufacturing to deliver higher energy density cells at affordable cost. Together, we’re enabling a faster, more capital-efficient route to commercial silicon anode adoption. This relationship with Putailai is precisely what OneD envisioned from the beginning — a scalable model for broader industry collaboration and integration through well-respected, established suppliers."
Collaborative Workstreams and Future Outlook
The JDA includes parallel initiatives encompassing technology transfer, product customization, and a commercial-scale production plan. These efforts aim to deliver high-quality, cost-effective anode products to key battery manufacturers, providing a clear pathway from research and development stages through to strategic scaling and full commercial adoption.
