R&D Achievement
Direct Lithium extraction from brine
- "Technology for extracting Lithium from brine in a short time"
Conventional process: solar evaporation of brine, then extraction of Lithium
Developed process: directly extracts Lithium by a chemical process
Developed process takes less than a month to extract Lithium from brine regardless of weather conditions, and achieves high purity
PG-NCM cathode material
- "High-efficiency, ecologically benign PG-NCM secondary battery cathode material development"
Cathode material: material that stores the Lithium-ion secondary battery during discharge,
High capacity over 215 mAh/g and Improved longevity and safety by establishing a concentration gradient
