YapX, Joint Patent Application for Anode Binder Material for Secondary Batteries Submitted

[Asia Economy Reporter Jang Hyowon] YapX, a KOSDAQ-listed company (CEO Choi Simyeong), announced on the 14th that it has filed an additional joint patent related to an anode binder material for secondary batteries with its subsidiary Technium (CEO Baek Yonggu). This is the third patent following two earlier this month, and YapX is expected to become a company holding a total of three joint patents with Technium on the compound structures of anode binder manufacturing materials.

All three patents jointly filed by YapX apply chemical structures to anode binders to achieve ▲improved initial discharge retention rate ▲suppression of active material volume expansion, ultimately enhancing the lifespan and stability of secondary battery electrodes. The company expects that since lifespan and stability issues have continuously been key improvement challenges for secondary batteries, the patented materials, once mass production begins, could change the industry landscape.

Currently, the anode binder materials incorporating the joint patented technology of YapX and Technium have entered final sample testing with three major domestic anode material manufacturers. The company plans to establish its own mass production system eventually, as there is currently only one domestic producer of anode binders for secondary batteries.

Choi Simyeong, CEO of YapX, stated, “Once sample testing is completed, we will begin delivering products based on the patented materials to major anode material manufacturers and start establishing our own anode binder production system. Anode binders are one of the three main materials constituting secondary battery anode materials, and going forward, YapX will secure a market position as one of the few core secondary battery material producers in Korea based on its manufacturing-specialized competitiveness.”
