At the booth's central Core Technology zone, Samsung SDI will exhibit prismatic, cylindrical, pouch, and button batteries, along with key applications equipped with these batteries such as electric vehicles, IT & wearables, power tools, and energy storage systems (ESS). Video content covering battery technology and history will also be shared.

In the Core Technology zone, visitors can explore Samsung SDI's unique technological competitiveness, including solid-state batteries, innovative structural design, high-efficiency fast charging, and safety technologies. Samsung SDI's solid-state battery features an anode-less technology that improves lifespan using proprietary solid electrolyte materials and lithium anode materials.

Samsung SDI is nearing completion of Korea's only solid-state battery pilot line. Through this pilot line, prototype sample production will begin in the second half of this year, followed by various tests to enhance the development completeness of solid-state batteries.

In the ESS zone, visitors can see Samsung SDI's new E5S modules and racks equipped with a direct injection system and water-cooling system for optimal safety. The IT and Power zones showcase various products such as smartphones, wearable devices, AI robots, and power tools.

In the EV zone, BMW's 'New i7' and Volvo Truck's 'FM Electric' will be displayed side by side. The BMW New i7 is BMW's first pure electric flagship sedan and is equipped with Samsung SDI's P5 prismatic battery. The P5 battery achieves high energy density by combining a high-nickel cathode material with over 88% nickel content and silicon anode technology. Besides the New i7, it is also installed in the latest electric vehicles such as the iX and i4.

The Volvo Truck FM Electric is the first large electric truck introduced in Korea. This vehicle is equipped with approximately 28,000 of Samsung SDI's 21700 cylindrical batteries. It uses a high-nickel cathode material with 91% nickel content and achieves high output and high energy density for commercial truck applications.
