Posco Chemical gets 40-trillion-won cathodes deal from Samsung SDI
Posco Chemical won a 40-trillion-won ($32.6 billion) order for cathodes from Samsung SDI, the company said in a regulatory filing Monday.
Under the contract, Posco Chemical will provide Samsung SDI with high-nickel nickel-cobalt-aluminum (NCA) cathodes for 10 years starting later this year.
Cathodes are one of four core materials in lithium-ion batteries, which power EVs. Made of lithium, nickel, cobalt and manganese, cathode materials account for 40 percent of the production cost of an EV battery.
The latest deal is Posco Chemical's biggest and longest contract in its 60-year history.
