About Nexeria Tek - Innovative Business Model and Vision
NexeriaTek is a secondary battery materials startup founded by a team of materials researchers formerly with LG Chem’s R&D division. The company is developing NexLFO™, a lithium replenishment additive designed to compensate for the lithium that is inevitably consumed during a battery’s initial charging cycle. By supplying additional lithium at the cathode stage, lithium replenishment additives play a critical role in improving initial cell capacity and cycle life while also reducing manufacturing process time.
Conventional lithium replenishment materials have low intrinsic electrical conductivity, requiring 5 to 16 hours for full charging, while the market has been largely dominated by Chinese suppliers. NexeriaTek addresses these limitations by forming an iron/carbon composite at the precursor stage on a molecular scale, creating a uniform conductive network throughout the particles. This enables full charging in under three hours while also delivering competitive production costs.
The company is currently conducting sample validation with a major Korean battery cell manufacturer and is working to localize lithium replenishment materials that have so far relied entirely on imports, with the goal of entering the domestic battery supply chain.
