By using single-crystal cathode material, it secures long-term durability of the electrode in high-voltage environments and became the first in the industry to mass-produce batteries applying 100% NCM613 cathode material, promoting diversification in the laptop battery industry.

Samsung SDI's 'Samsung Battery Box (SBB)' received the 'Best Innovation Award in Energy Storage Systems (ESS).' SBB is an integrated battery solution with product module mounting, boasting a high energy density of 475.2 kWh/L. It applied specialized fire extinguishing devices for battery fires, explosion prevention, and blackout preparedness systems, earning recognition for widely promoting the excellence of Korean batteries in the global ESS sector.

Additionally, SK On's 'Advanced SF Battery' was selected for the 'Best Innovation Award in Fast Charging.' This product maximizes fast charging performance in high energy density cells, increasing energy density by 9% compared to the previous SF battery while maintaining fast charging time, receiving high marks for technological innovation.

POSCO Holdings' 'Eco-friendly POSCO-type Ore Lithium Process' won the 'Best Innovation Award in Refining and Smelting.' This method is applied when producing lithium hydroxide from lithium ore, drastically reducing the use of auxiliary materials by employing an electrodialysis process. It achieved zero generation of byproduct sodium sulfate, gaining recognition for excellent marketability in efficiency, economy, and environmental friendliness.

In addition, the 'Best Innovation Award in Electrolyte' was awarded to Dongwha Electrolite's 'PA800,' and the 'Best Innovation Award in Used Batteries' went to Poen's 'Electric Vehicle Used Battery Remanufacturing and Reuse' technology.

Furthermore, LG Energy Solution's anode laser etching technology received the 'Best Innovation Award in Automation Solutions,' Wonjun's continuous secondary battery cathode and anode material manufacturing (calcination) equipment won the 'Best Innovation Award in Process Equipment,' and GFI's 'AEGIS automatic fire extinguishing sheet, pad, and tape' received the 'Best Innovation Award in Startups.'
