The Award database is continually updated throughout the year. As a result, data for FY24 is not expected to be complete until March, 2025.

Download all SBIR.gov award data either with award abstracts (290MB) or without award abstracts (65MB). A data dictionary and additional information is located on the Data Resource Page. Files are refreshed monthly.

The SBIR.gov award data files now contain the required fields to calculate award timeliness for individual awards or for an agency or branch. Additional information on calculating award timeliness is available on the Data Resource Page.

  1. Liquefied Gas Electrolytes for Next-Gen EV Batteries

    SBC: SOUTH 8 TECHNOLOGIES, INC.            Topic: 1

    This combined phase SBIR I,II,IIS proposal seeks to develop and demonstrate high power lithium battery cells having up to 330 Wh-kg specific energy with capability to fast charge using a novel Liquefied Gas Electrolyte (LiGas) technology. The LiGas electrolyte uses safe and non-toxic, non-corrosive gasses which are liquefied under moderate pressures and are easily contained in standard cylindrical ...

  3. OPERA: Optimizing a potassium-ion electrolyte for revolutionary automotive batteries

    SBC: Project K Energy, Inc.            Topic: 1

    We propose to develop and commercialize a potassium-ion battery for use in electric vehicles (EVs). The fundamental properties of potassium transport in organic electrolytes allow for fast charging from 0 to 80% capacity in less than 5 minutes. The battery will pair a stable, open-framework cathode based on a Prussian blue analog (PBA) with a conventional graphite anode for a high-performance batt ...

  7. Breakthrough process to manufacture very low-cost LFP cathode for Li-ion batteries

    SBC: SYLVATEX, INC.            Topic: NA

    This project will use a low-cost, high-yield, and simplified continuous approach to synthesize lithium iron phosphate iron (LFP) based cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Sylvatex’s (SVX) proprietary nanomaterial platform has already demonstrated a significant breakthrough in synthesizing cathode materials for LIBs. This project will demonstrate the feasibility of producing LFP-b ...

  8. Decoupling High-Density Hydrogen from the Liquid Hydrogen Infrastructure: Catalyst-Filled Heat Exchangers for Modular Cryo-Compressors

    SBC: VERNE INC            Topic: NA

    Cryo-compressed hydrogen (CcH2) offers a thermodynamic optimum for high-density, low-cost storage as a key element in achieving economical hydrogen infrastructure. Verne is developing a cryo-compressor technology platform that will convert gaseous hydrogen (GH2) at low pressures (e.g. 20 bar) and 300 K, to CcH2 (60 – 80 K and 300 – 500 bar). These systems provide hydrogen with liquid-like dens ...

  9. The salt and iron path to renewables integration

    SBC: Inlyte Energy, Inc.            Topic: NA

    To meet the grand challenges of climate change and energy independence we must replace fossil fuels with solar, wind, and storage. The sodium metal halide (NaMx) battery is a uniquely attractive solution for next-generation grid storage. The raw storage materials in the NaMx iron chemistry are table salt (NaCl) and iron, two of the most abundant and lowest-cost materials. In addition, the NaMx bat ...

  10. Bio-inspired Lixiviants for Selective Extraction of Valuable Metals from Municipal Solid Waste Incinerator Ash

    SBC: LIXIVIA, INC            Topic: M

    Metals such as rare earths, copper, cobalt, and nickel continue to be critical to the energy industry and advanced technology applications. Traditional mining of these elements is predominantly located in far-flung regions of the world. MSWI ashes represent a unique opportunity as a source for some of these metals here in the U.S. The current unit cost of metal extraction and refinement, particula ...
