LG Chem showcases new materials at Interbattery 2025

LG Chem says it showcased its “LG Precursor Free (LPF)” cathode materials at Interbattery 2025, March 5-7, at the COEX convention and exhibition centre in Seoul, South Korea.

More than 640 companies worldwide featured at Interbattery 2025, where LG Chem presented its next-generation battery materials, including safety solutions for fire and thermal propagation, materials for EV chargers, and cathode materials for solid-state batteries.

LG Chem says its LPF cathode materials are produced by directly calcinating custom-designed metals without precursors, improving power performance at low temperatures and shortening development time.

Starting mass production of LPF cathode materials in the first half of this year, LG Chem plans to expand LPF technology applications across new products.

LG Chem also showcased its flagship high-nickel (Ni) cathode materials and a range of products and technical solutions to enhance the cost-effectiveness of affordable EVs under the theme “Sustainable Future, Powered by LG Chem”.

Alongside ultra-high-Ni products with more than 95% nickel, high-voltage mid-Ni, high-density lithium iron phosphates (LFP), and advanced LFP products blended with nickel-cobalt manganese (NCM), LG Chem highlighted core technologies like single crystal control and advanced manufacturing using smart factories.

LG Chem introduced next-generation materials, including safety solutions like Nexula (aerogel thermal barrier), flame barrier foams (FBF), and flame barrier sheets (FBS), which prevent or delay fires and limit thermal propagation in batteries. Additionally, cables and housings for EV chargers, and next-generation cathode materials for dry electrode and solid-state batteries, featured too.

The company unveiled a website to enhance the digital customer experience, offering detailed information on major exhibition items at Interbattery 2025 and insights into LG Chem’s advancements in EV-related materials.
