Ion Storage Systems

📣 If you are at the Solid-State Battery Summit in Chicago this week, be sure to reach out our CTO Gregory Hitz! He spoke this morning on, “Design for Manufacturing and Integration of Solid-state Cells: Overcoming Industry-wide Challenges on the Path to Scaled Manufacturing”. Greg shared insights into the difference between our technology and others as ours contains a non-flammable 3-D ceramic structure inside the cell. With it, we don’t need to be dependent on materials like #graphite and rare earths that are difficult to mine. By focusing on manufacturability and scalability from the start, we're ready to revolutionize #electrification. If you’re attending be sure to reach out to Greg and schedule a time to meet with him! #IONStorageSystems #solidstatebatteries #batteries #CET4SolidState

"ION Storage Systems is a Maryland original. Their success underscores our state's growing leadership in science, technology, and advanced manufacturing." - Gov. Wes Moore of Maryland. Last week, we had the pleasure of hosting Gov. Wes Moore and ARPA-E Director Dr. Evelyn Wang at our facility, to celebrate the recent $1 million grant awarded to us through the Build Our Future Grant Pilot Program and the $20 million awarded through ARPA-E’s SCALEUP Program. While here, Governor Moore announced an additional $11 million in funding for advanced manufacturing and technology in the state of Maryland. ION is proud to be at the forefront of innovation and Maryland’s bright future with our safer, longer-lasting solid-state batteries designed with manufacturing to scale in mind.

This week, Ion Storage Systems celebrated their recent ARPA-E SCALEUP and Maryland Build Our Future Awards at their facility in Beltsville, Maryland. As part of the event, ARPA-E Director Dr. Evelyn Wang delivered remarks that highlighted how the ARPA-E SCALEUP program is supporting Ion to accelerate the deployment of the company’s 3D ceramic solid-state electrolyte battery architecture. Following the remarks, Director Wang joined Maryland Governor Wes Moore, Congressman Glenn Ivey, State Senator James Rosapepe, State Delegate David-Frasier-Hidalgo, and University of Maryland President Darryll Pines for a tour of the facility, which could become one of the largest solid-state battery manufacturing facilities in the United States.

Wes Moore and the Maryland Department of Commerce for your continued support as we move toward the commercialization of our solid-state batteries! https://lnkd.in/eXc4cXA4 #IonStorageSystems  #SolidStateBatteries #NoCompromises

🔋 Lithium-ion battery fires remain a serious problem, including an incident earlier this year in New York that caused the death of a 27-year-old journalist, continuing to raise concerns about Li-Ion battery safety. At ION, we’ve developed a safe, revolutionary #solidstate battery. Our batteries are designed with a patented 3D structure made with a ceramic electrolyte, which eliminates the need for compression and is non-flammable and energy-dense, creating a safer battery without compromising performance. We are proud to be at the forefront of creating a better future for batteries! Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/ervH-7zs #IonStorageSystems #BetterBatteries

Our portfolio company Ion Storage Systems, which is creating safe, high-energy density, fast-charging solid-state batteries, recently announced that it will receive $20 million from the US Department of Energy's ARPA-E as part of a three-year, $40 million partnership with several world-class commercialization partners. ION will collaborate with Saint-Gobain, one of the world's largest ceramics, glass and material suppliers and KLA, a leader in semiconductor process and quality control, to dramatically accelerate the commercialization of ION's high-performing, anodeless SSB.
