[Lithium Battery: Tinci Materials' 160,000 Tons/Year High-Compaction LFP Project Announced]

During the first half of August, the domestic spent battery cell market exhibited a pattern of price divergence and sluggish trading activity.

On August 14, LG Group and NVIDIA signed a strategic cooperation memorandum of understanding in California, USA, covering three major industries: robotics, AI factories, and mobility. The two parties will jointly advance industry standards for the artificial intelligence era. In robotics, LG Group plans to launch a bipedal humanoid robot based on NVIDIA Isaac GR00T in the first quarter of 2027, powered by LG Energy Solution batteries. In AI factories, based on the NVIDIA DSX architecture, the company plans to establish an AI factory reference site in the first half of 2027, and complete an 80MW AI computing facility in Cheonan, South Chungcheong Province, South Korea, in the first half of 2028. The project will integrate LG Electronics cooling solutions and LG Energy Solution battery solutions, providing computational infrastructure for the iteration of physical AI and humanoid robot foundation models. In the mobility sector, the two parties will leverage the NVIDIA DRIVE Hyperion platform to develop AI vehicle computing platforms, complemented by LG Energy Solution battery solutions.
