[Featured Stock] Hannong Chemical Rises on News of Volkswagen Adopting Prismatic Batteries

[Asia Economy Reporter Jang Hyowon] Hanong Chemical is showing strength following news that Volkswagen Group will adopt 'prismatic' batteries instead of 'pouch' batteries. This is interpreted as gaining attention as a beneficiary stock related to all-solid-state battery mass synthesis technology.

As of 9:19 AM on the 16th, Hanong Chemical is trading at 17,900 KRW, up 3.17% compared to the previous day.

All-solid-state batteries use non-flammable solids, making them next-generation batteries with no risk of fire. They do not require separate safety devices or separators, allowing for high capacity, miniaturization, and diverse shapes, making them a promising next-generation technology.

Last month, the Korea Electrotechnology Research Institute's Next-Generation Battery Research Center announced the world's first development of a technology to mass synthesize sulfide solid electrolytes for all-solid-state batteries at low cost. Following this news, the stock price of Hanong Chemical, which is developing all-solid-state battery electrolytes as a national project, surged sharply.
