DOE offers licensing for PFAS-free ionomeric binders for electrochemical devices.
The U.S. Department of Energy, through its contractor Triad National Security, LLC at Los Alamos National Laboratory, announces a technology licensing opportunity for PFAS-free sulfonated poly(norbornene) ionomeric binders. These binders are used in electrochemical devices such as fuel cells and electrolyzers, offering a non-toxic, high-performance alternative to traditional PFAS-containing materials. The technology is available for licensing to commercial partners. No specific requirements, qualifications, or set-asides are mentioned. The opportunity is open to interested parties without a stated contract value or duration.
