III.E Small Business Innovative Research Projects Brian Cunningham U.S. Department of Energy 1000 Independence Avenue, SW Washington, DC 20585 Phone: (202) 287-5686; Fax: (202) 586-7409 E-mail: brian.cunningham@ee.doe.gov Start Date: Ongoing Projected End Date: Ongoing Objectives Use the resources available through the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs to conduct research and development of benefit to the Energy Storage effort within the Vehicle Technologies Program Office. Introduction and Approach The Energy Storage effort of the Vehicle Technologies Program Office supports small businesses through two focused programs: Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR). Both of these programs are established by law and administered by the Small Business Administration. Grants under these programs are funded by set aside resources from all Extramural R&D budgets; 2.7% of these budgets are allocated for SBIR programs while 0.35% for STTR grants. These programs are administered for all of DOE by the SBIR Office within the Office of Science. Grants under these programs are awarded in two phases: a 6-9 month Phase I with a maximum award of $150K and a 2 year Phase II with a maximum award of $1M. Both Phase I and Phase II awards are made through a competitive solicitation and review process. The Energy Storage team participates in this process by writing a topic which is released as part of the general DOE solicitation. In FY12, the Energy Storage team decided to broaden its applicant pool by removing specific subtopics and allowing businesses to apply if their technology could help advance the state of the art by improving specific electric drive vehicle platform goals developed by the DOE with close collaboration with the United States Advanced Battery Consortium. Phase II Awards Made in FY 2013. Under the SBIR/STTR process, companies with Phase I awards that were made in FY 2012 are eligible to apply for a Phase II award in FY 2013. Two Phase II grants were awarded in FY 2013 from ten Phase I grants that were conducted in FY 2012. Applied Spectra, Inc., (Fremont, CA 94538-6410). This project will develop a bench top optical sensor for direct real-time measurements of the chemical composition of battery materials and electrode/ electrolyte interfaces with depth resolution down to the nanometer range. This development will enable capabilities to improve domestic manufacturing of Li- ion batteries with higher yield and improved performance. XG Sciences, Inc., (Lansing, MI 48911-4224). This project will develop a low cost high energy silicon/graphene anode for use in extended range electric vehicle applications. Phase I Awards Made in FY 2013. Three Phase I grants were awarded in the Summer of FY 2013. Navitas Systems, LLC, (Woodridge, IL 60517- 4795). This project will develop a low cost and high capacity silicon based anode for lithium-ion batteries. This will result in new battery technology capable of reducing the cost and extending the range of electric vehicles. This addresses the two key barriers that are limiting electric vehicle adoption. Pneumaticoat Technologies, LLC, (Westminster, CO 80021-3523). This project will implement a low- cost, lean-manufacturing approach to providing safety and stability to lithium-ion battery materials using a nanotechnology-enabling coating solution. Expected outcomes are higher retained performance under extreme conditions using statistical experimental designs, and a roadmap toward rapid commercialization and domestic production of next generation Li-ion battery materials. TIAX, LLC, (Lexington, MA 02421-3102). This project will develop a high voltage cathode material that improves the energy efficiency and mileage of HEVs and PHEVs, while also making it possible to charge PHEVs more quickly.
