This $40,000,000 Cooperative Agreement award, funded by the Department of Energy's Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) program (CFDA 81.135), supports Ion Storage Systems, Inc. in commercializing their next-generation solid-state lithium-metal battery technology. The project aims to accelerate the market release of Ion Storage's highly manufacturable and adaptable solid-state battery platform, targeting initial deployment in consumer electronics and defense applications before entering the electric vehicle market. The funding will allow Ion Storage to increase cell performance and manufacturing readiness, demonstrate the technology's advantages, and establish a domestic ceramic solid-state electrolyte manufacturing ecosystem. As a self-certified small disadvantaged business, Ion Storage has previously received federal grants and sub-awards for battery materials, components, and solutions to advance energy storage capabilities.
