2025-10-16

As large-scale AI models continue to advance, AIDC (Artificial Intelligence Data Centers) are increasingly becoming the new energy hubs of the digital industry. The rapid surge in computing demand is placing immense pressure on existing electrical infrastructure, making energy storage systems essential for maintaining stable and efficient data center operations. According to GGII, global demand for lithium batteries used in data center energy storage is expected to soar from around 10 GWh in 2024 to 300 GWh by 2030, marking a major shift in the relationship between computing and energy.
In this evolving landscape, LBM's high-performance S402 cathode material emerges as a solution designed for the era. Offering high energy density, long cycle life, and outstanding fast-charging capability, S402 provides a strong foundation for modern AIDC energy storage systems while reinforcing the reliability of data centers that operate around the clock.
S402 is engineered to meet the demanding requirements of AIDC applications, which exceed those of traditional grid storage by a wide margin. Its high-crystallinity structure combined with optimized surface-ion engineering enables a compaction density of up to 2.57 g/cc, allowing more energy to be stored within the same volume. Innovations such as micro-ramp technology further enhance long-term cycling stability, ensuring consistent performance across continuous operational conditions.
AI workloads are known for rapid fluctuations in power demand, requiring energy storage systems that can respond within milliseconds. S402 delivers this responsiveness through optimized ion channels and an enhanced conductive network that reduce polarization and lower internal resistance. This results in strong high-rate charge and discharge capability, enabling energy storage systems to adapt seamlessly to the fast pace of high-intensity data-center environments without compromising stability.
Data centers often face harsh and highly variable operating environments—large temperature swings, high humidity, and uninterrupted 24/7 activity. S402 has undergone rigorous validation to ensure batch consistency, thermal stability, and resilience under extreme conditions, including high temperatures, low temperatures, high humidity, and low pressure. This robustness significantly extends the lifespan of energy storage systems and maintains reliable performance over time.
The rise of AI is reshaping not only the digital landscape but also the way energy is stored and utilized. LBM's S402, built on the foundation of precisely engineered materials, stands as a critical pillar supporting a more stable, efficient, and intelligent energy ecosystem. Looking ahead, LBM remains committed to advancing cathode material innovation and collaborating with industry partners to drive AIDC energy storage systems toward greater efficiency, longer service life, and higher intelligence—ensuring that every kilowatt-hour delivers more computing power, and every particle of material becomes a core source of energy in the AI era.
