"ION and our world-class partners have reinvented ceramic membrane manufacturing for high throughput, low cost, and low emissions production of our safe, high energy solid-state battery. We are proud to be working hand-in-hand toward gigawatt-hour production and delivery of a market-leading EV battery solution. ARPA-E's RANGE program initiated the development of this technology in 2013 and we're honored to be partnering with them again through SCALEUP to expand the impact of our technology and accelerate electrification of a greener energy economy." Said Dr. Gregory Hitz, Co-Founder and CTO of ION.
ION和我們的全球一流合作伙伴已經爲高通量、低成本和低排放生產我們安全、高能固態電池重塑了陶瓷膜製造。我們很自豪能夠與他們攜手合作，實現市場領先的EV電池解決方案的GWh生產和交付。ARPA-E的RANGE計劃在2013年發起了這項技術的開發，我們很榮幸能夠再次與他們合作，通過SCALEUP擴大我們的技術影響和加速更綠色的能源經濟電氣化。ION的聯合創始人和技術總監Gregory Hitz博士說。
ARPA-E's SCALEUP (Seeding Critical Advances for Leading Energy Technologies with Untapped Potential) program builds on the agency's "primary research and development focus to support the scaling of ... disruptive new technologies across the full spectrum of energy applications." ION was one of four companies to secure funding from SCALEUP in 2024 as part of its $63.5 million program budget. According to ARPA-E, the program's goal is to help ARPA-E-funded technologies transition from proof-of-concept prototypes to commercially scalable and deployable versions of the technology. ARPA-E's SCALEUP funding and corporate partnerships enable ION to manufacture high performing, EV-scale SSB cells in the US with domestically sourced materials while expanding on what is already among the largest SSB manufacturing facilities in the United States.
ARPA-E的SCALEUP（種子關鍵性領先能源技術）計劃建立在該機構支持跨領域全部能源應用的顛覆性新技術的基礎研究和開發重點基礎之上。ION是獲得了SCALEUP 2024年6300萬美元項目預算中的4家公司之一。根據ARPA-E的說法，該項目的目標是幫助ARPA-E資助的技術從概念驗證原型轉變爲可商業化規模化和可部署技術的版本。ARPA-E的SCALEUP資金和企業合作伙伴關係使ION能夠在本土材料的支持下在美國生產高性能的EV規模SSB電芯，同時擴大其已經是最大的SSB製造設施之一的能力。宣佈ION等4家公司獲得了來自SCALEUP資金計劃預算6300萬美元中的資金。這個項目的目標是幫助ARPA-E資助的技術從概念驗證原型轉變爲可商業化規模化和可部署技術的版本。 ION是獲得了資金的4家公司之一。ION最近開設的是美國最大的SSB製造設施之一，ARPA-E的SCALEUP資金和企業合作伙伴關係將使ION能夠生產高性能的EV規模SSB電池，並在本土材料的支持下擴大其規模。
"Accelerating the widespread adoption of electric vehicles requires increasing driving range, reducing costs, and improving safety. Ion Storage Systems—through an earlier ARPA-E program—focused on working toward these goals, and now, through SCALEUP, the company will accelerate domestic manufacturing of next generation solid-state, high-power-density lithium-metal batteries, based on ION's proprietary ceramic electrolyte manufacturing technology," said Dr. Evelyn N. Wang, ARPA-E Director.
“加速廣泛採用電動汽車需要增加續航里程、降低成本並提高安全性。Ion Storage Systems—通過早期的ARPA-E項目—致力於朝着這些目標努力，現在，通過SCALEUP，該公司將根據ION的專有陶瓷電解質製造技術加快生產下一代固態、高功率密度鋰金屬電池的國內製造。” ARPA-E負責人Evelyn N. Wang博士說。
"Electrification is one of the critical grand challenges in the global transformation that the world needs to reduce emissions. At Saint-Gobain Ceramics, together with key innovators, we are excited to engineer a better, safer and greener world," said Jeffrey T. Mydlarz, Vice President & General Manager Saint-Gobain.
