Overview
- The company said Wednesday it has secured technology for mass production of silicon anode materials and set a target to begin commercial supply in 2028.
- Posco Future M reported that its silicon anode, made with proprietary nano‑processing and carbon composites, limited silicon swelling and kept more than 80% of capacity after 1,000 cycles at blends above 20%.
- The firm says silicon anodes can store roughly four times the energy of graphite anodes, a claim that could translate into longer EV range and faster charging if validated in full battery cells and vehicle tests.
- Posco Future M completed product testing and quality checks with major domestic and overseas customers and is working with U.S. firm Factorial to refine cathode and anode technology ahead of scale up.
- Industry observers note that while the technical results are promising, moving from pilot verification to high‑volume, cost‑controlled production poses major challenges for supply chains, automaker qualification and near‑term investor expectations.
