Available for Licensing: Continuous Electric-Field Assisted Sintering Technology for Scalable Continuous Material Production
Solicitation # BA-1488_2
A continuous electric-field assisted sintering (CEFAS) technology has been developed to overcome the limitations of traditional batch-based electric-field assisted sintering systems, which are constrained by fixed-die dimensions and single-sample throughput. This innovation replaces the enclosed die with a roller-based configuration that applies electrical current, uniaxial force, and shear stress continuously as material moves through the system, enabling sintering at temperatures exceeding 2000 degrees Celsius without length restrictions. By eliminating the geometric and volume constraints imposed by conventional dies, the system allows for the production of extended or high-volume components previously unattainable in batch setups, significantly increasing potential production rates and opening new design possibilities for part geometries. The technology is targeted at manufacturers across industries that rely on sintering to consolidate powdered materials, particularly those facing scalability challenges due to low throughput or dimensional limitations of existing equipment. Unlike current systems that can produce at most five samples per cycle, CEFAS is designed for uninterrupted operation, making it suitable for industrial-scale deployment and applications demanding consistent, high-volume output. The innovation is not being procured but is available for licensing, co-development, or evaluation by industry partners interested in advancing commercial applications. Interested parties must respond by September 1, 2026, and should engage through Battelle Energy Alliance–DOE Center in Idaho Falls, Idaho, to explore partnership opportunities under the special notice BA-1488_2.

Available for Licensing: Behind-the-Meter Energy Management Technology for Peak Shaving and Load Shaping
Solicitation # BA-946
A control algorithm is available for licensing that manages behind-the-meter energy storage and onsite generation to optimize peak shaving and load shaping across electrical power systems. Designed to reduce energy costs and demand charges for facility operators while alleviating strain on utility infrastructure, the system coordinates batteries and local generation to deploy stored energy at optimal times. It is engineered for broad scalability, functioning seamlessly across residential, commercial, industrial, nanogrid, microgrid, and distribution-level applications, from 120 V to 66 kV systems. The algorithm operates in two stages—proactive hour-ahead scheduling using weather and load forecasts, followed by real-time adjustments based on actual conditions—and adapts battery usage based on energy security needs, reserving charge when only a single fuel source is available. It responds to utility demand-response signals, time-based pricing, and grid constraints, and is capable of operating in both grid-connected and islanded modes, making it suitable for critical facilities requiring uninterrupted power. This technology is not intended for procurement but for partnership through licensing, co-development, or evaluation by industry stakeholders such as power-system software developers, energy technology firms, and electric utilities. It addresses a key industry challenge by replacing fragmented, facility-specific solutions with a unified, adaptable framework that eliminates the need for redesign across deployment contexts. Applications include reducing operational expenses for facility owners, supporting grid congestion management, enhancing energy security for hospitals and defense sites, and enabling participation in electricity balancing markets. The technology is managed by Battelle Energy Alliance under the U.S. Department of Energy, with licensing inquiries directed to Javier Martinez at the Idaho Falls office. Interested parties must respond by August 30, 2026, to explore commercialization pathways under solicitation number BA-946.

Technology Licensing Opportunity: Flame-Retardant Electrolytes for Safer Lithium-Ion Batteries
Solicitation # BA-846
A novel class of air- and water-stable ionic liquids based on N-organophosphoranimines has been developed as flame-retardant electrolytes for lithium-ion batteries, overcoming the flammability and thermal instability of conventional carbonate-based electrolytes. These compounds, synthesized via a Staudinger reaction using a stable imidazolium azide precursor, feature unique structural motifs with imidazolium groups bound directly to nitrogen—a first in the field—enabling unprecedented thermal stability beyond 150°C, low viscosity, and compatibility with lithium salt solubilization. Unlike prior phosphoranimines that were reactive intermediates unsuitable for commercial use, this technology offers practical handling, storage, and integration into existing battery architectures, with tunable properties such as solubility and viscosity across two key variants to suit diverse application needs. The solution directly addresses critical safety and performance gaps in lithium-ion batteries, particularly for high-risk environments including aerospace, defense, grid storage, and industrial operations where thermal runaway and fire hazards are major concerns. Its inherent non-flammability, chemical robustness, and electrochemical stability make it ideal for extreme conditions, while the novel chemistry provides strong intellectual property differentiation. Market potential extends beyond energy storage to industrial solvents and lubricants requiring low volatility and flame resistance. The technology is available for exclusive or non-exclusive licensing through the Department of Energy’s Battelle Energy Alliance, with responses due by September 30, 2026, and inquiries directed to Javier Martinez at the Idaho Falls facility. Licensing is the sole focus—no procurement or development services are offered.

Solicitation # CW-25-06
RELAP5-3D is an advanced thermal-hydraulic simulation software designed for comprehensive analysis of nuclear power plants and complex thermal-fluid systems. Originally created for light water reactor safety, it supports detailed multiphase flow, heat transfer, reactor kinetics, and fluid-structure interaction modeling across one-, two-, and three-dimensional geometries. This versatility allows it to perform steady-state and transient analyses for a wide range of reactor designs, including small modular reactors, high-temperature gas-cooled reactors, and liquid metal-cooled reactors. The software addresses the need for high-fidelity, validated simulation tools capable of capturing complex physical phenomena and multi-physics interactions that commercial codes often cannot fully represent. The contract offers a licensing opportunity through the Department of Energy’s Battelle Energy Alliance for interested companies to commercialize RELAP5-3D technology. Key features of the software include support for single- and two-phase flow with multiple fluids, built-in neutron kinetics models, coupled heat structure and control system simulations, parallel processing, and optional integration with external modeling tools for fuel performance and computational fluid dynamics. RELAP5-3D is widely used in reactor design, safety analysis, plant performance evaluation, R&D, and multi-domain system simulations. The Department of Energy seeks partnerships strictly for intellectual property licensing and commercialization, with a deadline for responses by November 1, 2026.
