The Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) was awarded a $500,000 Project Grant from the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E), under the "Critical Metal-Free, Conversion-Type Solid-State Batteries for Advanced Air Mobility" project, with a period of performance from July 18, 2024 to July 17, 2026. The project aims to develop a high-energy-density, fast-charging, low-cost solid-state battery (SSB) that enables cleaner, safer, and more efficient advanced air mobility (AAM) solutions. RPI, a private research university specializing in STEM fields, will leverage its expertise in areas such as advanced materials, energy, and environmental technologies to address this critical energy challenge.
