On March 5, Samsung SDI announced that it will participate in Interbattery 2024 in Seoul on March 6, where it will showcase a series of new "supergap" battery technologies, including fast-charging and ultra-long-life batteries, as well as a roadmap for mass production of all-solid-state batteries.
Among them, all-solid-state battery technology has attracted much attention. At Interbattery Korea 2024, Samsung SDI will unveil for the first time its mass-production readiness roadmap for all-solid-state batteries (ASBs). With an energy density of up to 900 Wh L, this battery brings higher performance and safety to areas such as electric vehicles and mobile devices.
Samsung's SDI all-solid-state battery has a 40% higher energy density than the P5 level, which is Samsung's own prismatic battery product currently being produced. Samsung's battery division plans to achieve the industry's highest energy density for its ASB products by utilizing the company's proprietary solid electrolyte and anode-free technology, which can achieve higher cathode capacity.
Samsung SDI has set up a dedicated ASB business control tower and commercialization team, and last year established a trial production line for all-solid-state batteries at Samsung SDI R&D Center in Seoul, and is currently delivering prototype samples.
Samsung SDI's roadmap shows that the company plans to fully mass produce all-solid-state batteries by 2027, covering all aspects from development, production line construction, project start-up to ** chain management.
In addition, Samsung SDI intends to develop and mass-produce a battery solution that will last for more than 20 years in 2029. By enhancing the durability of the battery material, such a battery will last more than twice as long as existing products on the market.
In addition to the all-solid-state battery technology, Samsung SDI will also showcase its latest ultra-fast charging technology. The technology can charge the battery from 8% to 80% in just 9 minutes, setting a new industry record for charging speed. It is expected that this technology will enter mass production in 2026, significantly reducing the charging time and providing users with a more convenient charging experience.
In the field of ESG, Samsung SDI will showcase its progress and plans in environmental protection, social responsibility, and corporate governance. The show will also feature a number of achievements, including Samsung's innovative Battery Case (SBB) solution, as well as a variety of small battery applications using Samsung's SDI batteries, such as high-power cylindrical batteries, pouch batteries, and wearable device batteries.
Yoon Ho Choi, President and CEO of Samsung SDI, said, "We are working to prepare for the mass production of next-generation battery products that go beyond the current state of the art. "Our unique 'supergap' technology will lead us to a leading position in the global battery market." ”
