SilexTech develops alternative silica-to-silicon pathways through aluminothermic reduction and integrated refining.
We explore recycled aluminum reductants to reduce carbon dependence and support future solar and semiconductor supply chains.
Reduction, reimagined.
Conventional silicon production relies on carbon-based reduction. SilexTech investigates aluminothermic pathways using recycled aluminum to convert silica into silicon metal.
Our focus is silicon recovery and refining, with the aim of reducing carbon dependence and supporting future solar and semiconductor applications.
TECHNOLOGY ROADMAP
Planned development stages: silica reduction and silicon refining.
Research
Selected papers.
We publish what we learn, along with the data and models behind it.
The lab
A glass lab in the forest.
Our robots run experiments day and night in a glass pavilion outside the city. Every run is visible from the bench, and every result trains the models by morning.
