Small and mid-sized battery companies are drawing attention from global customers and investors by unveiling next-generation materials at InterBattery 2026.
Innoox Group participated in the exhibition with its major battery subsidiaries, presenting a next-generation materials value chain spanning the entire battery industry.
Innoox Advanced Materials showcased thermal transfer prevention compression pads designed to maximize fire safety. The product effectively blocks fire propagation without generating particulates even at temperatures exceeding 1,000°C, dramatically enhancing battery safety. The company also introduced high-elasticity films and high-rigidity pads developed for solid-state battery commercialization, earning praise from global customers for its next-generation materials technology.
Innoox Lithium unveiled its high-purity lithium hydroxide (LiOH) processing and manufacturing technology, scheduled for mass production in the second half of this year. The company presented this as an alternative to stabilize supply chains for key raw materials currently heavily dependent on China.
Innoox Ecom introduced silicon additive technology for anode materials that improves battery energy density and lifespan.
"The core technologies and new materials lineup for solid-state batteries that our group is pursuing have received high evaluations from customers and investors," an Innoox Group official said.
Nano Silicon Advanced Materials is also exhibiting its silicon-based anode materials for lithium secondary batteries, a core new growth driver, at InterBattery 2026.
Silicon-based anode materials are attracting attention as next-generation materials capable of increasing energy density compared to conventional anode materials. Nano Silicon Advanced Materials has secured price competitiveness in battery manufacturing cost reduction through process technology that addresses the shortcomings of silicon anode materials while lowering mass production costs.
The company said it is continuing consultations with procurement officials from major domestic battery cell manufacturers and overseas buyers, discussing possibilities for global market entry.
"InterBattery 2026 is the optimal stage to demonstrate our silicon-based anode materials' overwhelming price competitiveness to the market," said Park Sung-kyu, CEO of Nano Silicon Advanced Materials. "Based on concrete discussions held with major industry players including large cell makers at the exhibition, we will maximize new business creation and market entry speed going forward."
JO, a company specializing in carbon nanotube (CNT) mass production, is also participating in InterBattery 2026, unveiling its advanced materials business strategy including CNT, LFP (lithium iron phosphate) dispersants, graphene-based thermal management materials, and advanced materials equipment.
