Refractory Substrate/Capillary Assisted/Thin Flowing Lithium Film Plasma Facing Component
SBC: ADVANCED COOLING TECHNOLOGIES INC Topic: 33a78365 Free-surface, flowing, liquid-metal cooling systems are an option for the removal of heat from energy-producing fusion devices. However, these free flowing liquid films are difficult to direct and contain because of their interactions with the high energy plasma and the powerful magnetic fields present in these machines. This project will develop a, capillary assisted, thin flowing, lithi ...

Complex Coolant Fluid for PEM Cell Systems
SBC: DYNALENE INC Topic: 32c75554B Fuel cells are an efficient, combustion-less, virtually pollution-free source of power. In particular, Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) fuel cells are ideal for a number of applications, due to their ¿quick¿ warm-up characteristics. However, these fuel cells contain some inherent inefficiencies, which results in waste heat that must be removed rapidly via a coolant ¿ currently, either D ...

Precision Holder Technology for In-Situ TEM Experimentation
SBC: E A Fischione Instruments, Inc. Topic: 30b75272B Transmission Electron Microscopy is a technique that allows materials to be analyzed to the nanometer and sub-nanometer scales. The next level of materials analysis will require the ability to perform dynamic experimentation within the microscope, which would require specialized specimen holding technology to perform the desired experiments. This project addresses the treatment of a spec ...

Gas Phase Catalytic Oxidation of Cyclohexane to Cyclohexanone and Adipic Acid
SBC: Evernu Technology, Llc Topic: 3079281S In the U.S., the production of 4.6 billion pounds of Nylon-6 and Nylon-6,6 starts with the liquid-phase oxidation of 3.5 billion pounds of cyclohexane to cyclohexanone/cyclohexanol, and the subsequent oxidation of the latter to adipic acid with HNO3. The liquid-phase cyclohexane oxidation, which operates at only 4-10% cyclohexane conversion, is the ¿least efficient¿ industrial process, a ...

Nanowire Optical Assay Probe
SBC: Illuminex Corporation Topic: 0478999S The development of new technologies for the rapid and accurate detection of indicators of diseases such as cancer will have a significant impact on human health. Current diagnostics are performed in highly sophisticated clinical laboratories, which requires significant overhead investment in instrumentation and highly trained medical technology staff. Furthermore, most tests are time con ...

An Economic Process for Coal Liquefaction to Liquid Fuels
SBC: Specialties Group, Inc. Topic: 1678208S Current processes to produce liquid fuels by direct hydrogenation of coal are not cost-effective. Therefore, improved process chemistry and/or reactor design will be required to produce transportation fuels from coal at prices that are competitive with currently used fuels. This project will develop a coal liquefaction process that uses a nanoscale active catalyst precursor in a plug flo ...

Low-Cost High-Temperature Heat Exchanger for Solid Oxide Fuel Cells using a Near-Net-Shape Ceramic Powder Forming Process
SBC: Spinworks, Llc Topic: 14b79788S The DOE-sponsored Solid State Energy Conversion Alliance (SECA) seeks to develop commercially-viable 3 to 10 kW Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) systems by the year 2010. One of the weak links in this system is the heat exchanger, which typically consumes more than 30% of the installed cost ($ 400/kW) and fails before the 40,000 hour design lifetime goal. While traditional ceramic materials ...

Safer, Non-Toxic, Alternative Electrolytes
SBC: Toxco Inc. Topic: 1779248S The use of ultra-capacitors in hybid electric vehicles is hampered by the toxicity and flammability of acetonitrile (AN), which is used as the basic solvent for the ultra-capacitor electrolyte. For non-AN, non-aqueous, ultra-capacitor electrolytes to achieve comparable performance to the current AN-containing ultra-capacitor electrolytes, both the performance and the much lower conductivi ...

Investigation of (CaO)x(Al2O3)x for Thermal Insulation and Molten Aluminum Contact
SBC: Westmoreland Advanced Materials Topic: 38a75253S The beneficiation of bauxite ore, used to produce aluminum and the subsequent refining of the aluminum to specific alloys and/or shapes, is an energy intensive process. Large amounts of heat energy (generated via electrical discharge in the primary process and from the burning of fossil fuel in the secondary process) are lost as a result of the insufficient thermal insulating properties o ...
