This episode is an interview with BS ONE, a Korean startup specializing in ceramic saggars, which are essential for producing secondary battery cathode materials. The interview highlights how BS ONE addresses market challenges, such as the current monopoly in the saggar market and the need for more durable and customized saggars for high-temperature firing processes, particularly for ternary and LFP cathode materials. BS ONE's competitive edge stems from its proprietary manufacturing processes, which include optimized raw material selection, advanced molding technology, and a unique multilayer coating that prevents corrosion and extends saggar lifespan. The company also emphasizes its sustainable business model through the recycling of used saggars and aims to secure a significant market share by offering tailored solutions to major cathode manufacturers and expanding into the LFP market to counter Chinese competition.
