L&F's 'High-Nickel Composite Cathode Active Material' Wins InterBattery Awards

Nickel Content Over 95%
Mixture of Polycrystalline and Single-Crystal Cathode Active Materials
"Surpassing Technical Limitations"

Global secondary battery material company L&F announced on the 25th that it received the award in the materials and components category at the 2nd 'InterBattery Awards 2025' for its 'High-Nickel Composite Cathode Active Material.'

Hosted by the Korea Battery Industry Association and COEX, the 'InterBattery Awards' is an event that selects outstanding products and technologies in the battery industry among companies participating in Korea's largest battery exhibition, 'InterBattery,' and showcases their excellence to industry stakeholders. This year's event was held on the 24th at COEX in Gangnam, Seoul. Awards were selected by evaluating technological excellence, innovation, marketability, and contribution to industrial development across five categories: battery and materials/components, post-use battery utilization, equipment/automation, and startups.

The awarded product, 'High-Nickel Composite Cathode Active Material,' is an innovative product that mixes polycrystalline and single-crystal cathode active materials with a nickel content of over 95%. The judging panel highly praised L&F's proprietary composite technology, which was the world's first to be successfully commercialized. Notably, the product addresses battery lifespan and stability issues that can arise in polycrystalline cathode materials by mixing them with single-crystal cathode materials. This results in reduced gas generation and enhanced stability, significantly improving battery life and overcoming the technical limitations of existing high-nickel cathode materials.

In addition to its innovative technology, the awarded product received high marks for its contribution to industrial development. By enabling batteries that surpass the limits of energy density, it has made mass production of high-performance batteries possible. This technological innovation is expected to further strengthen the global competitiveness of K-battery, accelerate the worldwide adoption of electric vehicles, and contribute to carbon neutrality through resource efficiency.

Jeon Sang-hoon, Head of Material Development Research at L&F, expressed, "We are very pleased to have our technology recognized through this award. The High-Nickel Composite Cathode Active Material is an innovative achievement that surpasses the limits of energy density, and based on L&F's world-class technology, we will boldly overcome the chasm of temporary demand stagnation."

L&F plans to showcase various next-generation battery technologies, including the awarded product, at 'InterBattery 2025,' held at COEX from the 5th to the 7th of next month. At the L&F exhibition booth located in Hall C on the 3rd floor of COEX, under the theme 'Leading the Future,' the company will unveil the awarded product along with LFP cathode materials, LLBS precursors, used battery recycling, and next-generation secondary battery material technologies. The awarded product will also be separately exhibited in the 'InterBattery Awards Special Pavilion.'
