OCI Co., Ltd. begins building of a secondary battery silicon anode materials plant in Jeonbuk. OCI Co., Ltd. is establishing a manufacturing base in Jeonbuk to determine itself as a number one firm within the secondary battery and semiconductor supplies trade.
Jeonbuk Particular Self-Governing Province introduced on the eleventh that OCI held a groundbreaking ceremony for a particular materials manufacturing facility for silicon anode supplies at its Gunsan plant.
The groundbreaking ceremony was attended by officers together with Jeonbuk Particular Self-Governing Province Deputy Governor for Financial Affairs Kim Jong-hoon, Gunsan Mayor Kang Im-jun, Provincial Assemblyman Park Jeong-hee, Gunsan Metropolis Council Chairman Kim Younger-il, and OCI CEO Kim Yu-shin.
OCI is a home chemical and power firm established in 1959 and has a various vary of enterprise areas starting from conventional inorganic chemical merchandise to carbon supplies and natural chemical merchandise, semiconductor supplies, and secondary battery supplies.
The particular materials manufacturing unit for silicon anode supplies, which is being constructed this time, is scheduled to be constructed with an annual manufacturing capability of 1,000 tons utilizing the idle website of the OCI Gunsan plant, which is at present producing polysilicon and phosphoric acid for semiconductors, and can start industrial manufacturing of cathode supplies beginning in 2025. Aiming.
In July of final yr, OCI signed a contract to provide key uncooked supplies (SiH4) for silicon anode supplies to Nexeon, a British silicon anode materials firm, and with the completion of this plant, it plans to instantly provide to Nexeon’s silicon anode materials manufacturing plant for 5 years. We plan to contemplate extra enlargement sooner or later as market development and buyer demand enhance.
Silicon anode supplies, the next-generation cathode materials, can considerably enhance power capability and density in comparison with current graphite anode supplies, and it’s not too long ago identified that second-generation silicon anode supplies can enhance the power density of current batteries by as much as 50%.
Beginning with this provide of silicon anode uncooked supplies, OCI plans to actively develop next-generation silicon anode supplies and semiconductor supplies sooner or later to determine itself as a number one secondary battery and semiconductor materials firm.
Kim Yu-shin, CEO of OCI Co., Ltd., mentioned, “Beginning with this building begin, OCI will proceed to broaden its superior supplies enterprise and leap ahead as a worldwide core supplies firm.” He added, “By strengthening cooperation with Jeonbuk Particular Self-Governing Province and Gunsan Metropolis, Gunsan will grow to be the second “We’ll do our greatest to assist it emerge as a hub for the superior supplies trade, together with batteries,” he mentioned.
