POSCO FUTURE M said on the 2nd that it will take part in InterBattery 2026, to be held Nov. 11–13 at COEX in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, and showcase future cathode and anode materials technologies.
POSCO FUTURE M will participate in this year's event under the theme "Together, drawing BoT future" (Together, Drawing BoT Future) and set up a 451-square-meter pavilion composed of five zones.
The five zones will be organized around Autonomous Driving electric vehicles (EVs), data center energy storage systems (ESS), advanced solution, open innovation, and a sustainable supply chain.
POSCO FUTURE M emphasized that at this exhibition it will foreground innovative material solutions tailored to the characteristics required by a range of devices, including Autonomous Driving EVs, ESS, and Humanoid Robots.
The ultra high-nickel cathode applied to Autonomous Driving EVs is characterized by raising the nickel content to 95% or higher to improve driving range and stability.
Lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cathodes, which are inexpensive and long-lasting, are highly applicable to ESS and entry-level electric vehicles.
For next-generation materials such as cathodes for solid-state batteries, noted for high energy density and attention as game changers for next-generation industries like robots, and silicon anodes, the company will present both current development status and a roadmap.
To secure an early lead in next-generation markets, it will also introduce the status of open innovation under joint research and development with innovative companies including U.S. solid-state battery company Factorial.
At 11 a.m. on the 12th, POSCO FUTURE M and Factorial will deliver a joint keynote at the venue.
Through this event, POSCO FUTURE M also plans to introduce POSCO Group's direct lithium extraction (DLE) process technology, which can economically produce lithium even from low-concentration brine lakes, as well as the development status of core solid-state battery materials such as solid electrolytes and lithium metal anodes.
It will also exhibit electric-vehicle steel products such as POSCO International's drive motor cores and rare-earth permanent magnets, and POSCO's battery pack and cylindrical battery can materials.
The booth will offer interactive events such as games for visitors. Based on visitor participation, it plans to create a social contribution fund and donate it to the POSCO 1% Foundation.
