Membrane Materials with Improved Properties
SBC: UES INC Topic: 10aCurrently the commercially available technologies for H2 separation such as pressure swing adsorption and cryogenic distillation are very energy intensive. Membrane technologies can be very energy efficient; but for high selective membranes low flux and high cost are the major challenges that frustrate commercialization. Recently, cermet has shown promise because of less precious metal usage and m ...

High Temperature Unique Low Thermal Conductivity Thermal Barrier Coating (TBC) Architectures
SBC: UES INC Topic: 27cHigher operating temperature for the gas turbine engine is needed for enhanced efficiency, lower emission and increased performance goal. The current state-of-the-art thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) are not adequate to provide the needed protection for the metallic components of the turbine engine operating at higher TBC surface temperature (>1300

Nickel-Based Amorphous Metal Membranes for Water Gas Shift Reactors
SBC: MAINSTREAM ENGINEERING CORP Topic: 10cHydrogen produced today from coal, natural gas, or biomass must be separated and purified outside the reactors using pressure swing absorption (PSA), a process that requires significant additional space and energy. Placing hydrogen-permeable membranes inside the reactors themselves would allow hydrogen to diffuse out, thereby reducing the cost of hydrogen production. In this Phase I effort, Mainst ...

Synthesis of a Potential Fast Ionic Conductor for Mg+ Ions
SBC: POWDERMET, INC. Topic: 15bDevelopment of a solid with high conductivity of Mg2+ cations will allow application of that substance as membrane in magnesium-air batteries. These batteries will be much cheaper, safer, and at the same time store much more energy than lead-, lithium- or sodium batteries with the same weight. Such batteries would be ideal for electric vehicles and for the off-peak storage of renewable elect ...

Recovery Act- High-Efficiency Membrane Regenerator for Liquid Desiccant Air Conditioning
SBC: PAX SCIENTIFIC INC Topic: 01aLow-Flow Liquid Desiccant Air Conditioning (LDAC) has the potential to dramatically lower the electricity used for commercial air conditioning by directly removing moisture from the air prior to cooling. But in order to achieve widespread market adoption, the mechanisms by which the liquid desiccant is regenerated must be made more energy efficient, reliable and cost-effective. Membrane technolo ...

The Energy and Cost-efficient E-waste recovery project for rare-earths and precious metals
SBC: QUANTUM VENTURA INC Topic: 07dIdaho National Laboratory (INL), under funding from the Critical Materials Institute, has developed a US patented technology to reclaim valuable metals from waste electronic equipment. The Electrochemical Recycling Electronic Constituents of Value (E-RECOV) method uses an electrochemical cell to efficiently recover the bulk of metals from discarded electronics, leading to more complete recycling o ...

Novel Thermal Spray Lubricious Oxide Coatings
SBC: DRS RESEARCH Topic: 01bThe extreme operating conditions experienced by many moving mechanical components in aerospace and automotive engines require the uses of high-performance materials and lubricants. Current oil-based lubricants degrade rapidly under such conditions and become useless, especially at high temperatures. As a result, many moving components of engines that are run at high temperatures to impro ...
