AI Contract Overview

This contract offers a technology licensing opportunity for an innovative advancement in lithium-metal battery technology developed by Idaho National Laboratory (INL). The core innovation involves an anode-free rechargeable lithium battery employing a molybdenum-based current collector that enhances stability and cycling performance by promoting uniform lithium nucleation during plating. Compared to traditional copper collectors, the molybdenum nanoparticles embedded in the current collector improve lithium plating and stripping, reduce overpotential, and suppress dendrite growth and dead lithium formation. This development promises a significant increase in energy density and improved cycling efficiency, and it uses scalable manufacturing processes based on commercially available sputtering technology. Currently at technology readiness level 2, the technology requires further proof-of-concept validation. A patent application covering this innovation is pending under docket number BA-1265. The Department of Energy’s Battelle Energy Alliance manages the licensing opportunity, aimed primarily at businesses interested in commercializing advanced battery technology. The contract encourages collaboration to access this promising intellectual property without offering funding or engaging in manufacturing, focusing instead on flexible, affordable licensing agreements that particularly support small businesses. Interested parties are directed to contact the primary point of contact at INL for further discussions on partnership and licensing.

Full Description

TECHNOLOGY LICENSING OPPORTUNITY

Enhanced Stability for Li Metal Batteries with Molybdenum Decorated Collectors

Enhancing Stability and Performance of Lithium-Metal Batteries for High-Energy Density Transportation.

Overview: Anode-free rechargeable lithium (Li) batteries are highly effective energy storage systems due to their significantly increased energy density and reduced cost. These batteries can be more easily manufactured than other Li-ion battery architectures because of the absence of an active (reactive) anode material. However, significant challenges, including Li dendrite growth and low coulombic efficiency, have prevented their practical implementation. Still, Li metal is widely viewed as the most promising anode material for high-energy Li-ion batteries due to its high specific capacity and low electrochemical potential.

Description: Researchers at Idaho National Lab have developed an anode-free rechargeable lithium battery with a molybdenum (Mo) based current collector at the anode side. This system shows improved cycling performance due to uniform Li nucleation during plating compared with traditional Cu collectors. Molybdenum nanoparticles embedded in the surface of the current collector will induce uniform Li plating/stripping morphologies with reduced overpotential, suppressing dendrite growth and dead Li formation.

Benefits:

Significantly increased energy density
Improved cycling performance compared to other Li metal batteries
Scalable process uses commercially available sputtering technology

Applications:

Lithium-metal batteries

Development Status: TRL 2, technology is in need of proof-of-concept work[RMB1] .

IP Status: Patent Application No. 17/819,993, “Current Collectors with a Group 6 Metal Thereon and Related Electrochemical Cells and Methods,” BEA Docket No. BA-1265.
