Hydrogen Contamination Detection
SBC: SKYRE, INC Topic: 14bThe new purity requirements SAE J7219, ISO 14687-2 and ISO 14687 (Table I and Figure 1 below) place a three orders of magnitude increase on the accuracy of the instrumentation that is necessary to detect these extremely low levels of several critical contaminants. The design and verification of the conceptual approach of a cost-effective and reliable instrument that can sample the hydrogen at the ...

Ultra-High Temperature Thermal Barrier Coatings
SBC: HIFUNDA LLC Topic: 19dState of the art yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) based thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) are typically limited to maximum use temperatures of 1200-1300C. A thermal barrier coating (TBC) with a 1500C temperature capability would be a major gas turbine materials breakthrough. New coatings with a 200C temperature advantage can be used by the gas turbine industry to significantly increase turbine effi ...

An Improved Refractive Focusing Optic
SBC: Delaware Diamond Knives, Inc Topic: 05bSynchrotron-based science has had a great scientific impact and will continue to have great impact going forward. In spite of the large investment in the 3rd generation light sources, most beam lines do not preserve the sources phase profile or brightness all the way to the sample. For these high brightness light sources, errors are almost completely due to distortion in the front-end optics cau ...

Catalytic Process to Produce High Value Platform Chemicals from Biomass-Derived Lignin
SBC: INNOVATEK, INC. Topic: 13aThe cost of feedstock is a dominant factor in the final cost of renewable biofuel production. Therefore, maximizing the value of each biomass component is an ideal opportunity to improve the economics and commercial potential of lignocellulosic biomass conversion to liquid fuels. Biomass is composed of three main constitutive bio-polymers: cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. Lignin is a highly c ...

Non-Platinum Group Metal OER/ORR Catalysts for Alkaline Membrane Fuel Cells and Electrolyzers
SBC: Proton Energy Systems, Inc. Topic: 13cStatement of the problem or situation that is being addressed: A major challenge in successful development of unitized regenerative fuel cells (URFCs) is the bifunctional air/oxygen electrode. In proton exchange membrane-based systems, the number of stable elements at electrolysis potentials is extremely limited, restricting the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) / oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) cat ...

Novel Surface-Functionalized Powders for Solid Oxide Fuel Cells
SBC: Sonata LLC Topic: 15bStatement of the Problem or Situation that is Being Addressed - Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) offer exceptional promise for electrical power generation with reduced carbon footprint, but SOFC reliability must be improved for the technology to be widely commercialized. Strontium based ceramic cathodes e.g. lanthanum strontium iron cobalt oxide (LSFC) enable good performance, but cathode degradatio ...

In-situ formation of ceramic well liner patches
SBC: Olympic Research, Inc. Topic: 16aDevelopment of corrosion-resistant wellbore components and remedial seal solutions is critical to mitigating wellbore loss of injected CO2 from geologic storage systems. Poor wellbore integrity impacts the performance of carbon dioxide sequestration reservoirs by unintentionally releasing the sequestered CO2 to the atmosphere. A particularly difficult sealing application is the emplacement of casi ...

Rapid Scanning Surface NMR for Efficient Land and Airborne Hydrogeologic Mapping
SBC: VISTA CLARA INC. Topic: 21bStatement of the problem that is being addressed: This proposal addresses the challenge of non-invasively measuring subsurface hydrogeologic properties that control the transport of contaminants and availability of groundwater resources, and efficiently mapping these properties over wide areas of the shallow subsurface (upper ~50m). General statement of how this problem is being addressed: We wil ...

Non-Fouling Polymeric Membrane for Algae Dewatering
SBC: COMPACT MEMBRANE SYSTEMS, INC. Topic: 12cCurrently there is great interest in the development of renewable fuels, such as biodiesel. Algae is one source of oil feedstock for biodiesel production that has been extensively investigated in recent years. Unlike vegetable oil crops, such as soybeans, algae grows very fast, can be grown on land of limited agricultural value, and can be grown in seawater or wastewater which are not suitable f ...
