New Advancements in Battery Tech Could Transform Battery Manufacturing Equipment Standards
22. January 2026LG Energy Solution is advancing its development of dry electrode technology, aiming to revolutionize battery production with a more cost-effective and space-efficient process. Unlike the conventional wet electrode method—which requires solvent use, drying, and solvent recovery—the dry process involves only solid powder mixing, eliminating the need for drying and solvent recovery systems. This streamlined approach is expected to significantly cut facility investment and processing costs, while optimizing manufacturing space and enhancing overall productivity. Equipment and components used in battery production usually require KCs Certification in order to be approved for import and sale in Korea.
The company has started constructing pilot production lines at its Ochang Energy Plant in Korea, with plans to begin commercial-scale output by 2028. The dry electrode process is not only expected to improve battery manufacturing but also boost the cost competitiveness of electric vehicles, drawing considerable interest from automakers and battery producers across South Korea, China, and Japan. Building on over 30 years of battery innovation, LG Energy Solution is also expanding its technology portfolio, including premium High-Ni NCMA batteries, Mid-Ni NCM, and LFP products to serve a wider market. Additionally, the company is preparing for mass production of its 46-Series batteries and scaling up its LFP-based energy storage solutions.
