At InterBattery 2026 in Seoul, South Korean battery companies put all-solid-state battery materials front and center, offering a public snapshot of how far the technology has moved from lab work toward industrial preparation.
Graphene Manufacturing Group has won U.S. EPA approval to import and sell its graphene-based coating in the United States, a commercial milestone that could help expand the company’s graphene platform while its aluminium-ion battery program continues through development.
Noon Energy says it has successfully operated a scaled-up long-duration energy storage system for thousands of hours, with some tests exceeding 200 hours. The milestone strengthens the case for multi-day storage as data centers and clean energy developers look for alternatives to short-duration batteries.
Graphene Manufacturing Group says it has approved the final AU$1.4 million needed to complete construction of its second-generation graphene plant, setting up a mid-2026 startup target for the facility.
