Samsung SDI and LG Energy Solution Diverge on Solid-State Battery Timelines

LG Energy Solution targets commercialization of graphite-based solid-state EV batteries in 2029 and anode-free cells for humanoid robots in 2030, prioritizing cost reduction. Samsung SDI is accelerating mass production of sulfide-based batteries as early as next year and signed an MOU with EcoPro BM for materials supply.

• LG Energy Solution: solid-state EV batteries in 2029, anode-free for robots in 2030
• Samsung SDI targets mass production of sulfide-based batteries as early as 2027
• EcoPro BM runs a 40-ton-per-year sulfide solid electrolyte pilot plant
• LG cuts costs with dry electrode tech replacing the wet process
