EcoPro BM and Samsung SDI Push for Commercialization of 'Dream Battery' All-Solid-State Batteries by 2027
Published
Key players in the domestic battery industry, EcoPro BM and Samsung SDI, have joined forces to develop next-generation battery technology. The two companies have set a goal to commercialize sulfide-based all-solid-state batteries, often referred to as the 'dream battery,' by 2027 and have begun full-scale collaboration.
An all-solid-state battery is a product that replaces the liquid electrolyte inside a battery with a solid one. It offers superior safety due to a lower risk of fire compared to conventional lithium-ion batteries and has the significant advantage of higher energy density, allowing for longer driving distances on a single charge. For these reasons, it is attracting attention as a technology that will be a game changer in the electric vehicle market.
Through this partnership, EcoPro BM plans to develop the core materials required for all-solid-state batteries, while Samsung SDI plans to advance its battery cell manufacturing processes based on these materials. Both companies are accelerating research and development with the goal of commercialization by 2027, a strategy aimed at securing a technological edge in the global electric vehicle market.
Industry experts believe that this collaboration will serve as an opportunity to elevate the competitiveness of the domestic battery industry to the next level. Especially in a situation where consumer concerns about electric vehicle fires are high, the emergence of all-solid-state batteries with enhanced safety is expected to play a crucial role in the mass adoption of electric vehicles.
Attention is now focused on what kind of achievements the two companies will make in the all-solid-state battery market. If the technology development is successful, South Korea is expected to further solidify its position as a leading nation in the next-generation battery market.
