LK Chem, a leading domestic company specializing in mass production of semiconductor precursor materials, announced on the 7th that it participated in the 'Solar Asia and Battery Asia Show 2025.' Lee Changyeop is the CEO of LK Chem.

The 'Solar Asia and Battery Asia Show 2025' is the only renewable energy industry exhibition in Korea that provides insight into new market opportunities in the renewable energy sector, including next-generation battery technology, battery recycling, and electric vehicle charging infrastructure. Every year, the event garners significant attention from the industry, with major participation from global energy companies as well as materials and equipment manufacturers.

At this exhibition, LK Chem unveiled its perovskite materials currently under research and development, along with modules utilizing these materials, highlighting its technological capabilities in the next-generation solar cell sector. Perovskite, known for its high light absorption and low-temperature processability, is a core material for next-generation solar cells and is attracting attention as a future energy solution that could replace conventional silicon. Through this exhibition, LK Chem showcased its high-efficiency and high-stability material technology, as well as customized technologies tailored to various application devices, emphasizing its key competitive edge in the commercialization of perovskite.

LK Chem is developing next-generation perovskite materials to replace existing silicon solar cells, and has secured low-cost, high-performance material technology that can be synthesized at low temperatures (150℃). The company has achieved significant performance improvements in various material forms such as powder, solution, and film (encapsulation), and is expanding its intellectual property portfolio and academic publications based on these results. This material can be manufactured in various forms, including curved surfaces, and maintains high power generation efficiency even under cloudy weather or indoor lighting, making it a highly promising next-generation solar material for commercialization.

LK Chem aims to mass-produce tandem cells by developing perovskite materials for vacuum deposition (dry process), and has formed an industry-academia-research consortium with several research institutions, including the Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology (KRICT), to develop dry precursor materials, interfacial layers, charge transport layers, and to conduct large-area verification. To date, the company has secured eight intellectual property rights related to core original technologies and plans to begin supplying research samples, thereby accelerating its entry into domestic and international solar markets.

Lee Changyeop, CEO of LK Chem, stated, "Perovskite is a next-generation core material that can replace conventional silicon solar cells, and our company has secured proprietary technology that simultaneously improves both efficiency and stability. Through this exhibition, we will actively promote our unique technologies and products, continue to ensure the stability of customized module materials for customers, and contribute to the rapid commercialization of perovskite modules in the near future."
