SM Bexel Advances All-Solid-State Battery Prototyping

SM Bexel Establishes All-Solid-State Battery Prototyping Capabilities

South Korea’s SM Bexel has established capabilities to prototype and evaluate all-solid-state batteries through its participation in a government-funded project. SM Bexel applied a nanomembrane-based thin-film polymer electrolyte developed under the project to an all-solid-state battery cell. The company was responsible for battery design, prototype fabrication, and performance evaluation, giving it capabilities across key stages of solid-state battery development and testing.

Pilot Production Planned For 2028

SM Bexel plans to verify process stability and performance through pilot production in 2028. This stage is intended to assess whether the battery manufacturing process can operate consistently while meeting required performance targets. The pilot-production phase represents the next step after prototype development and evaluation, providing a basis for further process refinement before the company moves toward larger-scale validation and production preparation.

Process Optimization And Mass-Production Preparation

In 2029, SM Bexel plans to optimize electrode and electrolyte processes and manufacture prototypes for validation. In 2030, the company plans to evaluate process reproducibility and production efficiency in preparation for mass production. The roadmap therefore progresses from prototype development and performance evaluation to pilot production, process optimization, prototype validation, and assessment of manufacturing consistency and efficiency. The project uses technology developed in South Korea through government-funded research.
