Battery Technology
Daejoo Electronic Materials significantly contributes to the battery market, particularly through its development and mass production of silicon anode materials for lithium-ion batteries. These silicon-based anodes offer a substantial increase in energy capacity, ranging from 1300 to 1700 mAh/g, which is considerably higher than the 350 mAh/g typically found in carbon-based materials. This higher energy density translates to improved battery performance, longer range for electric vehicles (EVs), and enhanced discharge capacity for various electronic devices.
Daejoo is currently the only South Korean company mass-producing silicon anode materials, supplying several major global battery manufacturers. The company’s technology directly addresses key limitations of conventional lithium-ion batteries by enabling faster charging and extended battery life. Beyond silicon anodes, Daejoo also provides conductive pastes and powders crucial for electrode manufacturing, supporting the overall efficiency and reliability of battery cells. Their materials are used in premium EVs, consumer electronics, and large-scale energy storage systems, playing a direct role in advancing battery capabilities.
