Secondary battery material
Kumyang has been preparing to expand the demand for main components of automotive batteries, i.e., secondary battery materials, as a new-growth business by building processing facilities and receiving approvals for related products from our corporate customers
01
Lithium Hydroxide processing business
The business of ultra-precision processing of lithium hydroxide, a key raw material for cathode materials, which accounts for 40% of the manufacturing costs of secondary batteries, suitable for electric vehicles
· Supplying processed lithium hydroxide specialized for electric vehicles to domestic cathode material manufacturers through business cooperation with major lithium makers
02
NCMA-Based Secondary Battery Core Additive Business
The next-generation batteries, NCMA-based secondary or rechargeable batteries, significantly increase the driving range of electric vehicles compared to the existing NCM-based (nickel, cobalt, manganese) batteries
· The addition of aluminum to high nickel NCM-based materials increases output and stability; one type of aluminum and other materials are mixed, processed and added
03
Unique Cathode Material Business
Unique cathode materials that improve the range of electric vehicles improve the electric energy efficiency of next-generation high nickel-based secondary batteries
· Unique high nickel cathode materials are the technology that can be applied to the performance improvement of next-generation anode materials
