Inert-Gas Buffering for Particle Size Separation of Superconductor Precursor Powders
SBC: Accelerator Technology Corporation Topic: 3578953 In the fabrication of powder-in-tube (PIT) Nb3Sn superconductors, needed for high energy physics applications, the particle size distribution limits the final filament size to which the strand can be drawn. In previous work, a virtual impactor (VI) aerosol particle sizing process was developed to process powders with near-zero-defect removal of all particles larger than a desired threshol ...

Accelerated Biomethanation of Sequestered Carbon Dioxide and Paraffin in Coal Beds
SBC: Altuda Energy Corporation Topic: 16b78000 One way to reduce greenhouse gases is to sequester carbon dioxide. Once sequestered, a bioconversion process can convert carbon dioxide into methane, an environmentally friendly energy source. The process requires an abundance of hydrogen, which is present in the hydrogen-rich coal macerals and paraffin. This project will develop techniques to accelerate the in situ biomethanation of sequ ...

Using Downhole Probes to Locate and Characterize Buried Transuranic and Mixed Low Level Waste
SBC: Applied Physical Sciences Corp. Topic: 26b76059S In order to safely remove transuranic waste (TRU) and mixed low-level waste buried in the subsurface disposal areas (SDAs), it is important to anticipate exactly what materials are directly below the surface. This project will develop neutron-based, logging tools that can identify TRU and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the vicinity of probe holes, thereby permitting safer retrieval ...

An Innovative Technique of Preparing Solar Grade Silicon Wafers from Metallurgical Grade Silicon by In-Situ Purification
SBC: GT Equipment Technologies, Inc. Topic: 39a75655S The photovoltaics (PV) industry is having difficulty finding enough raw materials to match its rapid growth. In addition, traditional sources of secondary grade polysilicon are no longer readily available at inexpensive prices. Reducing the cost of solar silicon wafers is the key to lowering the price of crystalline silicon solar cells. This project will develop a single-step wafer fabr ...

Boron Nitride Capacitors for Advanced Power Electronic Devices
SBC: Integrated Micro Sensors, Inc. Topic: 2979564S Silicon carbide (SiC) is being used to break barriers with respect to the design and fabrication of high-temperature, high-power transistors, but capacitors remain the weak link in achieving higher temperature electronics. SiC devices have been demonstrated to operate safely at temperatures up to 400¿C, but at these temperatures, capacitors have been shown to severely degrade. High-tem ...

Organic Additives as Redox Shuttles for Overcharge Protection of Lithium Ion Batteries
SBC: Lithium Power Technologies, Inc. Topic: 17c78950S Lithium-ion batteries have been selected as the long-term battery solution for electric vehicles (EV) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEV). However, lithium-ion batteries are sensitive to certain types of abuse, particularly overcharge abuse wherein the normal operating voltage is exceeded during recharge. In the overcharge state, lithium-ion batteries could cause irreversible, exothermic ...

Automated Synthesis Module for Labeling Peptides with Fluorine-18
SBC: LYNNTECH INC. Topic: 04b78763S 18F-FDG ([18F]2-deoxy-2-fluoro-D-glucose) is widely used for the diagnosis, staging, and monitoring of malignancies using positron emission tomography (PET). However, its accumulation in tissue is not specific to malignancies only, and also is ineffective for detecting cancers with no enhanced glucose utilization. Consequently, there is a great need to develop tumor-selective PET agents. ...
