- Description
- Opportunity: Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), operated by the Lawrence Livermore National Security (LLNS), LLC under contract no. DE-AC52-07NA27344 (Contract 44) with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), is offering the opportunity to enter into a collaboration to further develop and commercialize its method to fabricate interdigitated multi-electrodes for electrochemical devices. Background: Electrochemical devices can generate electrical energy from chemical reactions or can carry out chemical reactions by applying an electric field.� These reactors consist of two oppositely charged electrodes (anode and cathode) with a liquid or solid electrolyte in between.� This setup leads to fundamental limitations to the system, such as non-uniformities in the electric field, energy losses due to mass transport resistances, and limited volumetric form factors.� What is needed is a way to produce previously unachievable configurations to expand the design space for electrochemical devices. Description: The approach developed by LLNL researchers is to use computer-aided design and advanced manufacturing methods to fabricate two or more continuous electrode structures intertwining in 3D space.� This configuration provides improved control electric field uniformity and the ability to carry out multiple electrochemical reactions.� This invention utilizes design tools to create architected materials, such as beam-based lattices, triply periodic minimal surfaces (TPMS), or other architectures with repeating structural motifs.� The electrode structures are continuous and intertwine in space, while maintaining either a constant or controlled distance between them, and never come in direct contact with each other to prevent short-circuiting.� Additive manufacturing can 3D print these interdigitated structures that can then be pyrolyzed to produce an electrically conductive carbon structure.� Another approach is to produce the initial structure from a conductive material directly. Advantages/Benefits:� Value Proposition:� Ability to fabricate complex designs with improved performance Improved control electric field uniformity Increased electrochemical reactions within a limited form factor Potential Applications:� Electrochemical devices such as batteries, electrolyzers, fuel cells, CO2 electroreduction reactors, etc. Supercapacitors Development Status:� Current stage of technology development:� TRL 4 (Component and/or system validation in laboratory environment) LLNL has filed for patent protection on this invention. LLNL is seeking industry partners with a demonstrated ability to bring such inventions to the market. Moving critical technology beyond the Laboratory to the commercial world helps our licensees gain a competitive edge in the marketplace. All licensing activities are conducted under policies relating to the strict nondisclosure of company proprietary information.� Please visit the IPO website at https://ipo.llnl.gov/resources for more information on working with LLNL and the industrial partnering and technology transfer process. Note:� THIS IS NOT A PROCUREMENT.� Companies interested in commercializing LLNL's Interdigitated Multi-Electrode Fabrication for Electrochemical Devices should provide an electronic OR written statement of interest, which includes the following: Company Name and address. The name, address, and telephone number of a point of contact. A description of corporate expertise and/or facilities relevant to commercializing this technology. Please provide a complete electronic OR written statement to ensure consideration of your interest in LLNL's Interdigitated Multi-Electrode Fabrication for Electrochemical Devices. The subject heading in an email response should include the Notice ID and/or the title of LLNL�s Technology/Business Opportunity and directed to the Primary and Secondary Point of Contacts listed below. Written responses should be directed to: Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Innovation and Partnerships Office P.O. Box 808, L-779 Livermore, CA� 94551-0808 Attention:�� IL-13815
