The University of California, San Diego received a $1.53 million competitive Cooperative Agreement awarded on January 20, 2026, by the Advanced Research Projects Agency - Energy (ARPA-E, CFDA 81.135) to conduct research and development on regenerable lithium-ion batteries with high energy density and extended operational life. The project, entitled "Regenerable Lithium-Ion Batteries with High Energy and Long Life," is scheduled for completion by January 19, 2028, and will be performed at UC San Diego's La Jolla campus. This research directly addresses the agency's priority to advance high-potential, high-impact energy technologies by developing sustainable and cost-effective closed-loop battery recycling and regeneration technologies that are currently unavailable at scale but essential for facilitating broader global transition to clean energy systems. Under this award, UC San Diego will deliver research outputs focused on battery regeneration methodologies and associated technological innovations that advance the state of closed-loop battery recycling. As a research-intensive institution with demonstrated expertise in materials science and advanced energy research, UC San Diego is positioned to develop novel approaches to battery sustainability that overcome current technological and economic barriers to commercialization, thereby supporting ARPA-E's mission to fund transformative energy solutions unsuitable for immediate private-sector investment.Federal Cooperative Agreement Summary
