The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is to overcome a limiting step in creating viable hydrogen fuel cells for the automotive industry. The solution will renew the battery catalyst without its removal from the vehicle. This will result in significant savings toward the total cost of ownership and an increase in overall system rel ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I project will be to provide the refrigerant industry with the first commercial designs for separating complex, multi-component, azeotropic refrigerant mixtures for economical recycling. The American Innovation and Manufacturing Act authorizes the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to phase down prod ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I project is that the proposed delivery system will advance many RNA therapeutic solutions to address intimal hyperplasia (IH) and other vascular conditions. Vascular disease is the most common disease pathology in the US, costing the country’s healthcare system over $437 billion dollars annually. Bec ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project is that poisoning by drugs of abuse affects almost 3 million people annually and is the leading cause of injury-related death in the United States. There were 100,306 opioid overdose deaths in the US in 2021, the majority of which were due to fentanyl poisoning. Screening patients for toxic d ...

A quad-active-bridge (QAB) multiport converter will be developed based on an innovative circuit topology, a high-frequency planar magnetic transformer, and the latest generation of wide bandgap (WBG) transistors. The WBG-based QAB converter will provide a high-efficiency and ultra-compact interface capable of connecting with an array of photovoltaic (PV) panels, battery packs, electric vehicles (E ...

Successful deployment of water-splitting technologies to produce green hydrogen holds the potential to enable large-scale renewable energy storage on the grid and help decarbonize the chemical industry. Currently, every commercial green hydrogen technology uses pure water as the feedstock, which adds to the costs and energy requirements of these systems. If innovative technologies can be developed ...

C56-24b-274053 Removal of contaminant remains one of the most significant cost components of the decontamination. Development of a low-cost nanofiber-based cleaning media suitable for efficient decontamination, with a wide range of desired characteristics meeting the required performance targets is the subject of this project. This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project aims to design, ...

C56-18k-274059 eSpin Technologies, Inc. in cooperation with Sandia National Laboratories will develop and manufacture a new class of non-PFSA ionomers and proton exchange membranes (PEM). In Phase I, polymer synthesis with a range of uncharged and linear crosslinkable non PFSA polymer will be carried out. Reinforcing nanofiber scaffold will be developed from uncharged robust polymers into which th ...
