3100 - 1501 Ion Storage Systems, Inc DE-FOA-0003100 Scaleup 2023 Saferbat: Solid-state Approach for Future Energy-dense Renewable Batteries and Advanced-manufacturing Technologies Ion Storage Systems (ION) Is Commercializing Next Generation Solid-state Lithium-metal (limetal) Battery Technology Capable of Near-term Deployment Into High Value Markets With Opportunity for Universal Battery Market Deployment in a Low-cost, Resource-plentiful, and High Energy Density Design. Ion Has Adapted a Patented 3D Ceramic Solid-state Electrolyte (SSE) Architecture Design Into a Highly Manufacturable and Adaptable Platform That Enables an Accelerated Market Release in a First-market Product or Consumer Electronics and Defense Applications Before Later Entry Into the Electric Vehicle (EV) Market With Maturation of the Same Fundamental Cell Design. Sustainability-focused Cell Design and Manufacturing Are an Opportunity for the Mitigation of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions on the Order of Tens of Thousands of Metric Tons of CO2 Per GWH of Ceramic Part Manufacturing. the Proposed Project Will Allow Ion to Access the Ev Market Earlier Through Immediate Increases in Cell Performance and Manufacturing Readiness Level, as Well as Demonstrate the Technology’s Unique Advantages and Give Ion More Control to Maintain Domestic Manufacturing in Collaboration With Commercialization Partners. Ion’s Scaleup Project Will Deliver Cells Capable of Industry-redefining Performance Alongside a Complete Manufacturing Plan for Displacing Li-ion Cells, and the Establishment of a Domestic Ceramic Sse Manufacturing Ecosystem for a Wide Range of Technical Ceramic Markets (ion and Beyond).

Everything here is this single award's whole record — signed, amended, paid — not a fiscal-year slice. The by-year charts elsewhere split an award across the years it was committed; this page keeps it whole.
Committed is what the government has legally promised on this award so far. Contracts can also carry a ceiling — the maximum if every option is exercised. Unspent ceiling is headroom, not money owed.
The cash actually disbursed against this award. The gap from committed is the disbursement pipeline: promised, not yet cashed.
Each transaction is a signing event — an action that created or changed the award, dated the day it was signed — not a payment. Negative amounts are real: money de-committed at closeout or renegotiation.
One bar, the award’s whole arithmetic: paid out, then committed, not yet paid, then .
