L& F, a secondary battery materials specialist, announced on the 16th that it will participate in the '2025 Korea Future Mobility Expo (Daegu International Future Auto & Mobility Expo 2025, hereinafter referred to as DIFA 2025)' held at EXCO in Daegu from October 22nd to 25th to showcase its NCM·LFP cathode material technology and vision for a sustainable battery industry.
DIFA 2025, a future mobility exhibition co-hosted by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, and the Daegu Metropolitan City, showcases the latest technologies and industry trends with participation from companies across various industries, including automobiles, batteries, components, and infrastructure. Through this exhibition, L&F plans to directly engage with diverse stakeholders, including global customers, investors, research institutes, and university students, and share the future direction and technological prowess of the battery industry.
L&F will operate an exhibition booth under the theme of "Leading the Future." The exhibition space is divided into three themes: the current status of cathode material development, the circular economy vision, and an experiential exhibition. Each area will showcase L&F's technological capabilities and sustainability strategies.
The cathode material development zone will showcase L&F's core product, high-nickel NCM(A) cathode material. This product is the world's first to achieve a nickel content of 95%, and its high energy density and excellent safety make it competitive in the high-performance battery market. It is currently supplied to major domestic and international cell manufacturers and automakers. LFP cathode material, slated for mass production in Korea in 2026, will also be showcased. Using a proprietary production process, it has achieved a compression density comparable to that of third-generation Chinese products, ensuring both production efficiency and price competitiveness.
Through this exhibition, L&F plans to showcase its "two-track" strategy, targeting both the premium electric vehicle market and the mass-market EV and energy storage system (ESS) markets, focusing on NCM and LFP cathode materials. Furthermore, samples of next-generation cathode materials, including all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs), sodium-ion batteries (SIBs), and lithium manganese-rich (LMR) batteries, will be displayed to demonstrate its technology portfolio and R&D direction.
The circular economy exhibition area showcases L&F's battery recycling and material circulation strategies. Together with key affiliates such as LS-L&F Battery Solutions (LLBS), JH Chemical Industry (JHC), and L&F Chemo Solutions (LCS), the company will explain the circular economy ecosystem, encompassing everything from precursor supply to waste battery recycling and next-generation material development.
The experiential exhibition space features interactive content that allows visitors to magnify particle images of L&F cathode materials up to 10,000 times using a touch display. This allows visitors to intuitively experience the quality and microstructure of the cathode materials.
During the exhibition, L&F will also host a variety of on-site programs for the general public and the local community. These programs include company introductions and cathode material training for Daegu university students, events for employees and their families, stamp tours, and AI photo events, all designed to expand communication with stakeholders.
In addition, the 'FIX 2025 Secondary Battery Circular Economy Ecosystem Forum' will be held, providing a forum for discussing sustainable growth and the direction of innovation in industry and academia.
L&F CEO Choi Soo-an said, “Through this DIFA 2025, we will showcase our next-generation battery material technology, including NCM and LFP cathode materials, and further strengthen our position in the global market.” He added, “We will continue to expand communication with various stakeholders based on our technological prowess and production capabilities, and contribute to building a sustainable battery ecosystem.”
