Addionics, a Smart 3D Current Collector manufacturer, and PNT Materials Co., Ltd., a South Korea–based battery materials and equipment company, have announced a new collaboration to develop, manufacture and commercialize prismatic lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cells for Energy Storage Systems (ESS).
The partnership combines Addionics’ Smart 3D Current Collector technology with PNT’s expertise in prismatic cell manufacturing, with the aim of delivering cost-effective, high-quality LFP solutions for the rapidly growing ESS market.
The collaboration is strategically targeted at meeting the rising energy demands of AI data centers, which are among the fastest-growing and most energy-intensive sectors globally. As hyperscale data centers expand to support artificial intelligence and cloud computing, the need for reliable, scalable and economical energy storage solutions has become increasingly critical. At the same time, accelerating renewable energy integration and grid modernization are driving significant investment in large-scale ESS infrastructure.
The global ESS market is expected to grow from approximately USD 668 billion today to more than USD 5 trillion by 2034, with major industry players including Sungrow, Tesla, Fluence and Powin leading rapid deployment. Against this backdrop, demand for cost-effective, high-performance LFP cells continues to rise.
“We’re excited to partner with PNT to bring Addionics’ 3D Current Collector technology into commercial-scale production for the ESS market,” said Dr. Moshiel Biton, CEO and Co-founder of Addionics. “AI data centers are emerging as one of the biggest energy consumers in the world. By combining our 3D Current Collector technology with PNT’s manufacturing excellence, we can deliver cost-effective, high-performance LFP cells that help power the AI revolution and support the broader transition to clean energy.”
DKichun Kong, CEO of PNT Materials, said: “This partnership combines Addionics’ breakthrough battery architecture with PNT’s manufacturing expertise to create a strong, scalable platform for the growing energy storage market. Together, we can deliver reliable, cost-effective LFP prismatic cells that meet the demands of a rapidly electrifying and AI-driven world.”
Under the agreement, the two companies will jointly focus on cost reduction, manufacturability and scalability, while also exploring global commercialization opportunities to serve data centers, renewable energy developers and utility-scale energy storage providers.
The collaboration represents a further step in Addionics’ strategy to convert technological innovation into large-scale industrial partnerships, supporting the transition toward a more resilient and decarbonized energy future.
