SK Innovation is participating in Daegu International Future Auto Expo (DIFA) 2021, held at EXCO in Daegu for 4 days from October 21st to 24th. DIFA is the largest exhibition specializing in future vehicles (electric vehicles, hydrogen vehicles, autonomous driving, etc.) in Korea.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n DIFA 2021 is an expo participated by not only Korean but also global companies that own the core technologies of the future car industry to showcase the latest global trends. The expo has been held annually since 2017, hosted by Daegu Metropolitan City and Korea Academy for Automotive Engineering, and organized by Daegu Exhibition and Convention Center (EXCO) and Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency. DIFA is supported by various ministries of Korean government.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n At DIFA 2021, SK Innovation is introducing the company\u2019s innovative technologies that will lead the electric vehicle (EV) battery market. Particularly, SK Innovation emphasized its status as a world\u2019s major battery maker with outstanding safety by setting up a booth that shows its differentiated battery technologies. Many visitors has toured around the company\u2019s booth from the first day of DIFA 2021.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u25b2 Visitors look around SK Innovations booth at Daegu International Future Auto Expo (DIFA) 2021<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n On the right side of the booth, SK Innovation displays the Hyundai IONIQ5, a strategic EV model unveiled by the car maker in February this year. This EV is equipped with SK Innovation’s NCM8 battery, a High-Ni (Nickel) (Ni) type that uses 80% of nickel, which is currently among the highest level in the industry.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n High Ni battery brings better performance with high energy, but it also difficult to manufacture because it requires a high level of safety technology. The driving range of the IONIQ 5 equipped with SK Innovation\u2019s battery is about 429 km, and it can be charged to 80% in just 18 minutes when fast charging.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u25b2 An IONIQ 5 electric car that uses SK Innovation\u2019s NCM8 battery is displayed at SK Innovation\u2019s booth at Daegu International Future Auto Expo (DIFA) 2021<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n In the Tech Zone, visitors can find the core of SK Innovation\u2019s EV battery technology: \u25b2Safer than EVer (safety), \u25b2Faster than EVer (quick charging), and \u25b2Longer than EVer (long-distance driving).<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n SK Innovation called the secret to ensuring stability while manufacturing high-performance batteries ‘Safer than Ever’<\/strong>. After delivering about 300 million battery cells, the company has found no fire accident, proving its unrivaled battery safety.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u25b2 (Lef) The \u201cSafer than EVer, Faster than EVer, Longer than EVer\u201d technologies introduced at SK Innovation\u2019s booth at DIFA 2021\/ (Right) The \u201cSafer than EVer\u201d explanation displayed at SK Innovation\u2019s booth at DIFA 2021<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n One of the main factor that makes SK Innovation battery cells safe is that they are using battery separators produced by SK IE Technology, a subsidiary specializing in information and electronic materials business. Through its proprietary technology, SK IE Technology can manufacture a thin but strong separator with a thickness of 5 micrometer, which is one-fifth the thickness of a human hair. A thin separator is desirable because it allows the active movement of power-generating ions, which increases battery output and speeds up charging, but it must be made with advanced technology, or else the separator can easily teared and lead to fire.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Other key points of the safety of SK Innovation\u2019s EV battery cells are the Z-folding technique and thermal propagation test. Z-folding is a technique that wraps the anode and cathode in zigzags, thereby significantly reducing the possibility of two materials coming into contact and allowing precise manufacturing even in high-speed production systems. Thermal propagation test refers to a safety measure where heat does not spread to surrounding cells when a fire occurs in some cells in a battery pack, where dozens of battery cells are lined up. Fundamentally, SK Innovation\u2019s self-designed E-pack can block heat, so it can prevent spreading fire.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u25b2 The explanation of \u201cFaster Than EVer\u201d and \u201cLonger than EVer\u201d at SK Innovation boot at DIFA 2021.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n SK Innovation also introduces its \u201cFaster Than EVer\u201d – a high-speed charging technology that can fully charge within just 15 minutes. The key is the multi-tab technology, which increases the number of anode and cathode tabs to two, which had been only one each in the existing batteries. Electrons must move from the anode to the cathode for the battery to charge, so if the number of tabs is increased to two, the distance traveled by electrons is reduced by half.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The \u201cLonger than EVer\u201d explains SK Innovation\u2019s unique post-generation cathode and anode material technologies that can extend the driving range.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u25b2 SK Innovation introduced its BaaS (Battery as a Service) at its booth at DIFA 2021<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n In addition, visitors can learn more about SK Innovation\u2019s BaaS (Battery as a Service) with strategic platforms such as Rental, Recharge, Reuse, and Recycle that can complete the whole value chain of the battery business.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u25b2 The Next Generation vision introduced by SK Innovation<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n SK Innovation shows its battery roadmap and next-generation batteries through the \u201cNext Generation\u201d corner at DIFA 2021. Visitors can check the current status and prospects of SK Innovation’s EV battery business, which have both high safety and long lifespan among high-nickel batteries with optimal cell design and process technology. In addition, SK Innovation announced that it is currently developing a lithium metal all-solid-state battery with higher energy density\/safety than existing batteries based on its own technology.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Visitors who came to check SK Innovation booth on the first day of DIFA 2021 gave various compliments, showing their expectations in the future growth of the company\u2019s EV battery business.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n On the first day DIFA 2021, Daegu Metropolitan City Mayor Kwon Young-jin and Daegu City Council Chairman Jang Sang-soo attended the opening ceremony of the event. In his opening speech, Mayor Kwon Young-jin said, \u201cThrough DIFA 2021, we can check the future of automobiles, promote the development of future cars together, and collaborate with each other.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Afterwards, Mayor Kwon and Daegu Metropolitan City Council Chairman Jang Sang-soo visited SK Innovation’s booth to directly check the company\u2019s differentiated battery technology. In particular, Mayor Kwon Young-jin showed great interest in SK Innovation\u2019s Z-folding technology, which is the key of the company\u2019s unrivaled battery safety.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u25b2 (Right) Daegu Metropolitan City Mayor Kwon Young-jin (second from right) and Daegu City Council Chairman Jang Sang-soo (first from right) visit SK Innovation\u2019s booth at DIFA 2021<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n SK Innovation is participating in Daegu International Future Auto Expo (DIFA) 2021, held at EXCO in Daegu for 4 days from October 21st to 24th.
