- Description
- NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton, VA solicits inquiries from companies interested in obtaining license rights to commercialize, manufacture and market the following technology. License rights may be issued on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis and may include specific fields of use. NASA provides no funding in conjunction with these potential licenses. THE TECHNOLOGY: Scientists at NASA Langley Research Center have developed high performance air electrodes using our scalable holey nanocarbon (especially holey graphene, or hG) platforms for lithium-air batteries (LABs) with ultrahigh energy density for superior weight savings in energy storage systems [80% compared to state-of-the-art (SOA) lithium-ion batteries]. A major bottleneck of LAB technology advancement has been the sluggish performance of air electrodes because discharge and charge reactions cannot effectively proceed due to unoptimized material chemistry and architecture of the electrodes. Using a combination of nanomanufacturing (i.e. materials chemistry) and nanoengineering (i.e. materials and process engineering) approaches to fully exploit the potential of hG-based materials to optimize them for use as air electrodes and thereby improve the capacity, cyclability, rate performance, and scalability to develop practical LABs. NASA is seeking to license this technology commercially in the United States. US Patent 9,120,677 and others pending. To express interest in this opportunity, please respond to LARC-DL-technologygateway@mail.nasa.gov with the title of this Technology Transfer Opportunity as listed in this FBO notice and your preferred contact information. Please also provide how you foresee using the technology along with a brief background of your company. Additionally, please identify any non-US interests/subsidiaries in your company as well. For more information about licensing other NASA-developed technologies, please visit the NASA Technology Transfer Portal at http://technology.nasa.gov/. These responses are provided to members of NASA Langley’s Office of Strategic Analysis and Business Development (OSACB) for the purpose of promoting public awareness of NASA-developed technology products, and conducting preliminary market research to determine public interest in and potential for future licensing opportunities. If direct licensing interest results from this posting, OSACB will follow the required formal licensing process of posting in the Federal Register. No follow-on procurement is expected to result from responses to this Notice.
