Energain® SA076 is now being used in lithium cobalt oxide (LCO) battery systems combined with silicon-carbon (Si-C) anodes operating above 4.53 V, representing a key advancement for high-end mobile devices. Energain® SA076
has reached a new level of industrial maturity, with multiple validated use cases among leading smartphone manufacturers, particularly in Asia. The solution is currently used in flagship devices and is expected to see further adoption in next-generation 4.55 V mobile platforms, which are slated for mass commercialization in 2026. Key markets include China, followed by Korea, Japan, Europe, and the United States.
The material plays a key role in facilitating the transition to silicon-anode battery systems by mitigating swelling issues and improving overall safety. Depending on customer requirements and system design, SA076 is used in dosages ranging from 5% to 40%, providing flexibility while maintaining stable performance under demanding operating conditions.
“Energain® SA076 reflects Syensqo’s ability to understand the fundamental needs of the battery market and translate them into tangible performance improvements for next-generation electronics, leveraging our deep expertise in materials science,” said Dr. Ludovic Odoni, Technology Director of Syensqo’s Battery and Green Hydrogen Materials Platform. “As smartphone manufacturers move toward higher energy densities and voltages, our innovative solution enables safer and more reliable battery systems that meet the most demanding performance requirements. Its rapid adoption in advanced mobile platforms demonstrates the strong collaboration between Syensqo, battery manufacturers, and leading original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), particularly in Asian markets. We are proud to contribute to the evolution of battery technologies that power the most sophisticated consumer devices.”.
Building on this momentum, Syensqo continues to expand its Energain® product portfolio to address evolving battery chemistry and higher voltage requirements in both consumer electronics and electric vehicle applications. The group remains focused on delivering safer, longer-lasting, and more efficient energy storage solutions for high-performance applications and cleaner mobility.
