The electrification market is evolving rapidly—and so is the battery landscape. Among the technologies gaining traction, lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries are emerging as a compelling solution for both electric vehicles (EVs) and energy storage systems (ESS), driven by their superior thermal safety and cost efficiency. SK On is moving decisively in this space, accelerating the development of LFP batteries into a next-generation solution with enhanced performance.
Building on the electrode design and process expertise cultivated through years of NCM battery development, SK On is advancing LFP technology on multiple fronts. Since unveiling the first pouch-type LFP battery prototype by a Korean battery maker in 2023, the company has made consistent progress year after year—improving low-temperature performance, extending cycle life, and increasing energy density. These advances are being pursued in parallel with a clear path toward mass production, as part of SK On’s broader competitiveness strategy. Watch the video for a closer look at the direction and capabilities of SK On’s next-generation pouch-type LFP technology.
