US-Israel lithium-ion R&D program receives funding to develop next generation cell technology

Energy storage start-up 3DBattery Company and lithium-ion developer NEI Corporation are set to progress work on an advanced anode material with a water-based electrode deposition process after receiving a $900,000 grant.

The grant from BIRD Energy— a joint R&D program between the US and Israel— is for the integration of a new generation of high performance and low-cost lithium-ion batteries.
