Seokgyeong AT, "Securing Technological Barriers in the All-Solid-State Battery Era"... Accelerating Patent Management for Solid Electrolyte Development

Discovering Future New Businesses through Material Technology Competitiveness and Strategic Investment

Nanotechnology specialist company Seokgyeong AT announced on the 27th that it has filed a total of six patents related to all-solid-state electrolyte materials for secondary batteries, including "Borate Oxide-Molten Salt System Solid Electrolyte and Its Manufacturing Method."

Earlier last month, Seokgyeong AT attracted industry attention by announcing the development of a new borate oxide-based lithium-ion conductor with superior conductivity, safety, and economic efficiency compared to the existing sulfide-based crystalline lithium-ion conductors. Through these patent applications, Seokgyeong AT expects to establish its own technological barriers as the secondary battery industry shifts its paradigm to the all-solid-state electrolyte era.

A representative from Seokgyeong AT explained, "Following the announcement of the development of a new lithium-ion conductor with a borate oxide crystalline structure, we received significant interest and inquiries from many shareholders and investors." They added, "As a result of various communications, we secured solid grounds for Seokgyeong AT’s unique technological capabilities and expedited the patent application process ahead of the original plan to accelerate management based on intellectual property (IP)."

Seokgyeong AT plans to strategically invest in securing production infrastructure based on its nanotechnology-driven business competitiveness, establishing materials related to all-solid-state electrolytes for secondary batteries as a new business model. Alongside the stable growth of its existing business sectors, it has designated all-solid-state electrolyte materials as a key future new business following materials for 5G·6G ultra-high-speed communications and underfill application materials for semiconductors.

Im Hyeongseop, CEO of Seokgyeong AT, stated, “As a leading nanomaterial small and medium enterprise in Korea, we are promoting new businesses by understanding demand in the upstream industry and reviewing feasibility through networks with various global companies,” adding, “Through patent management and technological advancement, we will play a pivotal role in presenting new electrolyte materials and additives in the secondary battery industry.”
