Lotte begins construction of sulfide-based solid electrolyte pilot line, annual production scale is 70 tons = South Korea

Lotte Energy Materials (formerly Nissin Materials), a manufacturer of secondary battery materials, recently announced that it has begun construction of a production facility for solid electrolyte, which is the main raw material for all-solid-state batteries.
. The company will invest 15 billion won (approximately 1,671.72 million yen) in its second factory in Iksan, Jeollabuk-do, to produce sulfide-based solid electrolytes, which are the raw materials for all-solid-state batteries.
A groundbreaking ceremony was held for the pilot facility. The company, which began researching solid electrolytes in 2018, will utilize the 1,619 square meter site of its second factory in Iksan to produce up to 70 tons per year until the end of June.
Build a scale pilot facility. Following this, the plant will go into full-scale operation by the end of the year after a trial run and stabilization process. We will send samples to all-solid-state battery related companies in Japan and overseas, and aim to provide them by the end of 2025.
The idea is to conclude a salary contract. Mass production is scheduled to begin in 2026, with annual production scale increasing to 1,200 tons. The company uses low-cost dry synthesis methods and special
We have completed the development of a product with high Eon conductivity by applying a wet synthesis method. Kim Yong-seop, CEO of the company, said, ``Many battery manufacturers and raw material manufacturers are researching and developing solid electrolytes and commercializing them.
competition is intensifying. We want to make investments ahead of other companies and secure customers based on our differentiated quality and cost."
