ION Storage Systems, a Maryland-based manufacturer of solid-state batteries (SSBs), has reached a milestone towards commercialization by achieving 800 cycles in its SSB cells.
ION cells cycle without compression or volume change, a key SSB adoption barrier. ION’s SSB requires no compression, swell budget, extensive cooling system or heavy fire barriers. In early 2024, ION announced the first anodeless SSB to achieve 125 cycles without pressure, commissioned its $30-million manufacturing facility, and received $20 million from ARPA-E for EV SSB development.
Applications for ION’s battery cells include EVs, consumer electronics, medical devices, grid storage, and aerospace and defense.
“It is unprecedented for an anodeless cell to reach this kind of cycle life without compression. ION has now produced a cell with performance that’s compelling to replace a huge portion of the lithium-ion market,” said ION’s CTO, Dr. Greg Hitz.
