The world’s second-largest battery maker LG Energy Solution Ltd. has teamed up with two German research institutes to develop next-generation batteries.
LG Energy, a unit of South Korea’s LG Group, said on Tuesday it will be working with Munster Electrochemical Energy Technology (MEET) at the University of Munster, and Helmholtz Institute Munster of Forschungszentrum Julich (HI MS).
The two German institutions will take part in a joint research program funded by LG Energy’s Frontier Research Laboratory (FRL).
Researchers from the three parties will be working on next-generation lithium-ion battery technology using eco-friendly materials. In particular, the joint research team will be looking into ways to boost battery cell performances, including energy density.

The German university is known for Prof. Martin Winter, who recently won the Henry B. Linford Award in recognition of his excellent teaching in electrochemistry and related materials sciences.
Through its FRL program, LG Energy has been co-working with renowned academic personnel across the world.
Under the program, LG has worked with the University of California San Diego for the development of an all-solid-state battery.
In Korea, the company has joined hands with the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) for research on elements of next-generation batteries.
