Solus Advanced Materials said on the 26th that it has completed technology verification for its high-end battery foil products with Europe's ACC and will soon finish product approval.
ACC is an electric vehicle battery manufacturer jointly established by Stellantis, Mercedes-Benz, and Saft, the battery subsidiary of France's TotalEnergies.
Solus Advanced Materials is proceeding with the approval process for "HTS 6㎛," a high-strength product. Upon product approval, Solus Advanced Materials will become the first company in Korea to win approval for high-end products from a European battery company.
With the trend toward lighter electric vehicle batteries, demand is growing for high-end battery foil such as high-strength and ultra-thin types that function stably without performance degradation even in extreme environments.
Solus Advanced Materials is accelerating development of next-generation battery foil technology by pursuing joint development of battery materials with electric-vehicle-related corporations at home and abroad and carrying out an industry-academia collaboration project at its Hungarian subsidiary to enhance quality.
Gwak Geun-man, CEO of Solus Advanced Materials, said, "We will work to solidify our technological leadership in high-end products in the global market and to ensure it leads to improved profitability."
