The NET certification is a program operated by the National Institute of Technology and Standards under the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy, aimed at early identification and certification of new technologies developed in South Korea. This initiative supports the commercialization of technologies and ensures their reliability.
In the first NET certification of 2026, a total of seven technologies were selected across various sectors, including electronics. Lotte Energy Materials' technology was among those recognized.
The certified technology focuses on producing uniform fine particles of sulfide-based solid electrolytes while maintaining the material's crystal structure and ionic conductivity. It aims to reduce particle agglomeration and material degradation during the milling process, thereby enhancing yield and quality.
Lotte Energy Materials explained that this technology allows for the micronization of solid electrolyte particles to sub-micron levels while minimizing performance degradation and preserving ionic conductivity characteristics.
The company believes that applying this technology will improve the performance and recovery rate of the final product, leading to enhanced production efficiency and cost savings. Based on this, Lotte Energy Materials plans to accelerate its entry into the sulfide-based solid electrolyte market.
A representative from Lotte Energy Materials stated, "This NET certification is significant as it recognizes our technology for micronization and performance retention of sulfide-based solid electrolytes. We aim to strengthen our competitiveness in next-generation battery materials centered around sulfide-based solid electrolytes."
