The company was founded around developing peptide-based mobile phone displays and data storage. The company reported it was ready to commercially release these products: peptide-based displays by 2016; peptide-based batteries for mobile phones that fully charge in 30 seconds by 2016; germanium-based mobile phone batteries by 2019; electric car and aerial drone batteries that fully charge in five minutes by 2020; and scooter batteries that fully charge in under five minutes by 2021. None of the company's products were ever commercially released as of March 2022.[1]
The company, as of 2023, is developing a silicon-based electric vehicle battery which it aims to deliver commercially in 2025,[4] which will be capable of 270kW charging.[5] The company does not plan to become a battery manufacturer or supplier, but instead plans to license its technology to major manufacturers or lease dedicated manufacturing capacity from existing suppliers,[6] saying its silicon batteries can be manufactured using existing factories and manufacturing processes.[7]
