Samsung SDI is reportedly considering a collaboration with a Chinese firm to develop a new manufacturing method for small batteries used in smartphones, tablets, and laptops. The focus is on "stacking" technology, which arranges battery materials in layers, akin to stairs. This method has previously been employed in electric vehicle batteries and is now being explored for smaller batteries to increase energy density and extend battery life.
Industry sources revealed on April 19 that Samsung SDI is assessing a Chinese equipment company for the layered production process, to be utilized for small pouch-type battery production at its Cheonan facility. . .
