Low-Volatility, Reduced-Toxicity Hypergolic PropellantsThe Missile Defense Agency is seeking innovative hypergolic propellants with significantly lower volatility and toxicity than current formulations while preserving the rapid, reliable ignition critical for missile defense applications. Traditional hypergolic fuels, though effective in ignition delay and specific impulse, pose substantial safety and handling risks due to high vapor pressure and extreme toxicity; this program aims to replace them with safer alternatives that maintain or improve performance across operational temperature ranges. Candidates include ionic liquids, reaction-driven amines, boranes, and custom blends, provided they demonstrate miscibility, stable performance, and reduced environmental and personnel hazards without compromising responsiveness in mission-critical scenarios. This solicitation, titled Low-Volatility, Reduced-Toxicity Hypergolic Propellants under MD A26TZ04-NV003, is a Small Business Set-Aside, restricted to businesses with fewer than 500 employees as mandated by the SBIR/STTR program. The opportunity was posted on July 1, 2026, with proposals due by July 22, 2026, and is administered by the Department of Defense. Solutions must be cost-effective, scalable, and capable of integration into existing DACS systems, with a focus on long-term operational safety and reliability. No place of performance or point of contact details are specified, and the primary reference is through the SBIR website link provided.

Technology Licensing Opportunity: Flame-Retardant Electrolytes for Safer Lithium-Ion BatteriesThis contract offers a licensing opportunity for a cutting-edge electrolyte technology designed to improve the safety and reliability of lithium-ion batteries, especially in extreme environments. The innovation centers on a new class of stabilized phosphoranimines that form room-temperature ionic liquids exhibiting flame-retardant properties and exceptional thermal stability above 150°C. Unlike traditional phosphoranimines, these compounds are air- and water-stable, making them suitable for practical manufacturing and storage. They feature novel structural elements, including nitrogen-bound imidazolium substituents, and provide tunable viscosity and solubility profiles, which enable customization for various battery chemistries and performance needs. Crucially, these electrolytes can dissolve lithium salts and maintain stability in electrochemical conditions, positioning them as strong candidates for next-generation battery electrolytes. The technology addresses the significant safety and performance challenges posed by conventional organic carbonate-based lithium-ion electrolytes, which are flammable and thermally unstable. Advantages include inherent non-flammability, chemical robustness, and broad flexibility for tailoring electrolyte properties. Potential market applications span consumer and grid energy storage, aerospace, military, and industrial sectors requiring safe and stable electrolytes under harsh conditions. Additional uses include chemical processing and industrial lubricants, leveraging the non-volatile and flame-retardant nature of the compounds. The Department of Energy, through Battelle Energy Alliance, is seeking industry partners interested in licensing this intellectual property to commercialize and bring the technology to market, but does not engage in development services or procurement.

Electrochemical Arsenic Immobilization for Sustainable Cobalt ProductionThe contract outlines a technology that employs an innovative electrochemical process to extract cobalt from sulfoarsenide minerals, like cobaltite, while simultaneously stabilizing arsenic by converting it into scorodite, a stable, low-solubility mineral. This approach effectively addresses the challenge of recovering cobalt from arsenic-rich domestic sources by integrating metal extraction and arsenic immobilization into a single system that operates under moderate temperatures and ambient pressure without the need for hazardous chemical oxidants or high-pressure equipment. The process utilizes a two-compartment electrochemical cell where ferrous sulfate in an acidic environment is oxidized, leading to cobalt release and arsenic stabilization, ultimately producing a secure form of arsenic management that meets long-term environmental criteria. This technology offers several advantages, including lower energy consumption, improved environmental safety, and a scalable design suitable for modular deployment in hydrometallurgical workflows. It not only recovers cobalt but has potential to extract other valuable metals such as copper, silver, gold, and rare earth elements. Market applications span critical mineral processing, battery supply chains, mining operations, environmental remediation for legacy waste sites, and national security initiatives focusing on critical material independence. The Department of Energy's Battelle Energy Alliance is facilitating licensing opportunities to industry partners interested in commercializing this sustainable cobalt production technology, emphasizing collaboration through intellectual property licensing rather than direct technology development or procurement.
