Iontra Inc. received a $1.75 million Cooperative Agreement from the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) under the CIRCULAR (Catalyzing Innovative Research for Circular Use of Long-Lived Advanced Rechargeables) program (CFDA 81.135), with performance in Denver, Colorado from July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2029. The award funds development of a transformative battery diagnostics sensing platform based on novel electrodynamic principles designed to rapidly assess battery state and health across all cell chemistries without requiring facility-intensive or time-consuming conventional testing methods. The primary deliverable is a fast, cell-agnostic diagnostic system that will reduce battery state assessment time from hours to seconds, enabling stakeholders throughout the battery circularity value chain—including manufacturers, recyclers, and remanufacturers—to make informed decisions about pack disposition, reuse, and recycling at every stage of battery life. By democratizing access to actionable analytical battery information through a fundamentally novel sensing approach, the technology addresses a critical barrier to circular economy adoption in the advanced rechargeable battery industry.Summary
