Samsung SDI is participating in the '2024 Korea Future Mobility Expo' to showcase its full lineup of mobility batteries and enhanced safety technologies.

The exhibition will be held for four days starting from the 23rd at Daegu EXCO. Now in its 8th year, the event is jointly hosted by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy, and Daegu Metropolitan City, with about 200 companies related to mobility such as batteries and electric vehicles participating.

Samsung SDI first unveiled next-generation products including all-solid-state batteries and 46-pi (diameter) cylindrical batteries, as well as LFP+ and NMX (cobalt-free) batteries. Various mobility battery products currently in mass production, such as the P6 (6th generation prismatic battery) and 21700 cylindrical batteries, were also exhibited.

Samsung SDI's all-solid-state battery achieves an industry-leading energy density of 900Wh/L through proprietary anode-free technology. Since the end of last year, samples have been supplied to customers and have received positive evaluations. The 46-pi cylindrical battery is planned to be mass-produced for M-Mobility (micro mobility) starting early next year.

The LFP+ battery features new electrode plate technology that improves energy density by more than 10% compared to LFP batteries. It is optimized for commercial vehicles through long-life performance of over 5000 cycles and fast-charging technology capable of charging up to 80% in 20 minutes.

Additionally, Samsung SDI attracted attention by unveiling videos related to the CTP (Cell to Pack) concept pack, which removes modules to enable higher energy density and cost reduction within the same volume, as well as enhanced safety technologies. To improve visitors' understanding, mobility applications such as the BMW iX electric vehicle, electric scooters, and electric bicycles were also showcased.

Meanwhile, under the vision of "Realizing a sustainable and eco-friendly future society through super-gap technological capabilities," Samsung SDI introduced its ESG management activities including RE100 implementation plans, battery recycling, and carbon reduction efforts.

Choi Yoon-ho, CEO of Samsung SDI, said, "Samsung SDI is leading the global battery market based on super-gap technological competitiveness and the highest quality," adding, "We will continue to lead the future mobility market through timely mass production of next-generation products such as all-solid-state batteries and 46-pi cylindrical batteries."
