LG Chem is set to launch mass production of its precursor-free cathode materials – marketed under the name LG Precursor Free (LPF) – in the first half of the year 2025. By skipping traditional precursors and directly calcining custom metal blends, LPF promises enhanced cold-weather performance and shorter development timelines.
Materials for electric vehicles and energy storage systems
The company plans to expand LPF across a broader range of battery products, offering customized and differentiated materials for electric vehicles and energy storage systems. In parallel, LG Chem is advancing battery safety innovations, including Nexul (an aerogel-based thermal barrier), flame barrier foams, and flame-retardant sheets designed to delay or stop battery fires and limit thermal propagation. LG Chem also develops electric vehicle charger components, such as cables and housings, and cathode materials for dry electrode and solid-state batteries.
