Wanhua Chemical Group Battery Technology and IBU-tec have signed a joint research and development agreement to develop LFP battery material for the European market.
The companies plan to carry out a scale-up towards industrial production in the coming months and expect results by the third quarter to determine if the joint development meets market requirements in Europe and North America.
This partnership could lead to the production of LFP cathode material in Germany to supply European customers.
