POSCO FUTURE M

- Unveiling R&D roadmap for cathode and anode materials to drive electric vehicle performance and mass adoption

- Introducing next-generation materials such as solid electrolytes and group-level supply chain achievements

- Hosting various events, including electric bicycle prize giveaways featuring POSCO Future M materials

POSCO Future M will participate in InterBattery 2025, held at COEX Seoul, from March 5 to 7. It will highlight its cathode and anode technology roadmap and the group-level supply chain achievements spanning raw materials, battery materials, and recycling.

This year, POSCO Group will participate in InterBattery under the theme “Move on, Change the Future,” with POSCO Future M taking the lead. The exhibition booth will be 451 m², 25% larger than last year. To help visitors experience the technology and project in an accessible and engaging way, the company will display samples of cathode and anode materials, lithium, nickel, and products utilizing POSCO Future M’s battery materials, such as electric vehicles and power tools. The company plans to enhance exhibition immersion through virtual 3D videos displayed on a large vertical media wall and panoramic display.

POSCO Future M will prominently feature new battery material technologies and products designed to overcome the electric vehicle chasm. The company will present detailed research and development status and roadmaps for Ultra Hi-Ni (Ultra High Nickel) single crystal cathode materials with nickel content exceeding 95% to increase EV driving range and stability, low-expansion natural graphite anode materials and silicon anode materials that significantly reduce battery charging time while increasing storage capacity, and LMR (Lithium Manganese Rich), LMFP (Lithium Manganese Iron Phosphate), and high-voltage mid-nickel cathode materials that will lead to mass adoption by lowering electric vehicle prices alongside LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate).

Additionally, the exhibition will showcase next-generation materials being developed by POSCO Holdings POSCO N.EX.T Hub that will be game changers for the future battery industry, such as solid electrolytes and lithium metal anodes, as well as steel products for electric vehicles, including POSCO International’s drive motor cores and POSCO’s battery pack and cylindrical battery can materials. The company will also present the achievements and status of the supply chain establishment, including POSCO Holdings’ Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) technology and nickel wet refining process technology.

POSCO Group has expanded investments in Argentina’s lithium salt lakes, Australia’s lithium mines, Indonesia’s nickel smelting business, and Africa’s graphite mines. Moving forward, the group plans to strengthen its business competitiveness by preemptively securing premium resources, utilizing the electric vehicle chasm period as an opportunity to enhance competitiveness.

Meanwhile, POSCO Future M will hold various events for visitors during the exhibition. Visitors can experience generating electricity by pedaling a bicycle generator installed at the booth, with the generated electricity being converted and accumulated for donation to welfare institutions. Moreover, through a drawing, a total of 12 people (4 people each day for 3 days) will receive prizes, including electric bicycles, electric kickboards, power tool sets, and drones.
