TDK, a key supplier of batteries for Apple, is set to introduce improved batteries this year to address the rising power demands of integrated AI.
The company plans to begin mass production of its third-generation silicon-anode cells from late summer, according to CEO Noboru Saito.
These silicon batteries offer greater energy density compared to traditional batteries, with improvements of up to 15% in capacity expected in the upcoming models.
The potential for silicon batteries is also noted by competitors like LG Energy Solution and Samsung SDI, which are exploring applications in electric vehicles.
Despite its current small market segment, TDK is optimistic that customers will recognize the value of silicon technology for gradual growth.
