• 2026-07-01 - Capability - SiNTL exceeds 550 mAh/g across test configurations

  Two variants stabilized above 550 mAh/g at higher charge and discharge rates after initial results above 600 mAh/g. A lower-silicon formulation reached nearly 600 mAh/g initially and stabilized above 500 mAh/g at higher rates. Carbon-enhanced formulations entered evaluation to sustain 600 mAh/g performance across a wider operating range.

• 2026-06-30 - Partnership - Orbit Boy selects SiNTL for defence launch vehicles

  The selection extended the partners' existing SiNTL testing program beyond satellite power systems. Orbit Boy planned to use the candidate technology in defence launch vehicles and its autonomous satellite-docking module. The original six-stage milestone and pass-or-fail evaluation structure remained unchanged.

• 2026-06-11 - Partnership - 1414 Degrees signs SiNTL battery evaluation agreement for Ukrainian UAV testing

  1414 Degrees entered a battery evaluation agreement with Energia 2000 to test SiNTL silicon-anode battery technology across Ukrainian UAV platforms. The program is structured with Energia 2000 and Trecenta Systems and is intended to provide access to five active Ukrainian drone battalions for operational evaluation, subject to approvals. The announcement moves SiNTL from materials validation toward real-world drone battery qualification in a defense operating environment.

• 2026-05-29 - Production Milestone - 1414 Degrees begins SiNTL scale-up and full-cell development

  Scale-up equipment was ordered for the George Washington University program to produce larger, manufacturer-relevant material quantities. The work targeted improved consistency for third-party evaluation and battery-manufacturer qualification. Contract manufacturers were engaged to build cells optimized for drones, UAVs, satellites, robotics and related applications.

• 2026-04-28 - Capability - 1414 Degrees names drones as SiNTL first target market

  The company linked SiNTL's 530 mAh/g test performance to longer range, higher payload capacity and shorter recharge times. SiNTL was designed as a drop-in upgrade compatible with conventional lithium-ion battery production processes. Process optimization and a scalable manufacturing pathway were advanced alongside engagement with UAV battery-supply-chain participants.

• 2026-03-06 - Demonstration - SiNTL advances to 530 mAh/g in laboratory testing

  George Washington University conducted the testing under 1414 Degrees' exclusive global SiNTL licence. The controlled test used a four-hour charge and discharge cycle between 20 and 80 percent state of charge. The result moved the program closer to its 600 mAh/g development goal for higher-energy-density batteries.

• 2026-02-03 - Capability - SiNTL reaches 500 mAh/g commercial benchmark

  The result aligned with the performance range of current commercial silicon-enhanced anode materials. Testing validated both the SiNTL composite architecture and its low-temperature synthesis process. The company established a repeatable development path toward a 600 mAh/g target while retaining compatibility with existing anode manufacturing.

• 2025-10-09 - Partnership - 1414 Degrees acquires exclusive global SiNTL licence

  The licence covered patented SiNTL technology developed by Professor Michael Wagner's team at George Washington University. Its low-temperature, single-step process produces stable aluminium-coated silicon nanoparticles without hazardous silane or hydrofluoric-acid inputs. The commercialisation plan called for sample fabrication, battery-manufacturer engagement and later evaluation of a dedicated production facility.
