SolRayo, Inc. Awarded Phase II NSF Grant

Tue, 17 Apr 2012 17:39:13 -0500

MADISON, WI – SolRayo, Inc., a subsidiary of Enable IPC Corporation (Other OTC: EIPC),
announced today that it has been awarded a National Science Foundation Small Business Technology Transfer (NSF-STTR) Phase II grant of $499,998 for the development of coatings to extend the life of batteries.

This award builds on the successful NSF-STTR Phase I project, titled “Using Nanoparticle Oxide Coatings to Extend Cycle Life of Cathode Materials in Lithium-Ion Batteries”. During the Phase I research, this inexpensive and easy-to-apply coating was shown to help increase the cycle life of certain rechargeable lithium ion batteries by several times. This Phase II grant is designed to allow the full commercialization of the product. The research and technology is being developed in collaboration with the University of Wisconsin in Madison.

Dr. Walter Zeltner, who will oversee the project at SolRayo and serves as the Company’s Director of Battery Research, said, “This grant, once again, points to the significance of the work being done at SolRayo and the University of Wisconsin. We are thrilled to be working with the National Science Foundation on this important research.”

This work, under Dr. Zeltner’s direction, was proven effective during the Phase I program, which was completed June 30, 2011. Dr. Zeltner has also stated that he expects to see improved results during Phase II and anticipates having a fully commercialized product for insertion into battery manufacturing processes at the conclusion of the Phase II program.

STTR is a vital, US government-funded, highly competitive small business program that expands funding opportunities in the federal innovation research and development arena. The program funds certain opportunities between businesses and non-profit research institutions. The goal of the STTR program is to fully transfer the technologies and products from the laboratory to the marketplace. The small business generates profits from the commercialization of the technology, which, in turn, stimulates the U.S. economy.

The work is being conducted jointly at SolRayo’s facility in Madison at the lab of Professor Marc Anderson at the University of Wisconsin. The project officially commenced on April 1, 2012 and is scheduled to conclude on March 31, 2014.

SolRayo Announces Phase I STTR Grant Award From the National Science Foundation (NSF) SBIR/STTR Program

Wed, 9 Jun 2010 18:14:28 -0500

Madison, WI - SolRayo, Inc. today announced that it has been awarded a $149,935 Phase I Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) SBIR/STTR Program to conduct research into “Using Nanoparticle Oxide Coatings to Increase Cycle Life of Cathode Materials for Li-Ion Batteries.” The work will be performed under the guidance of SolRayo’s Director of Battery R&D, Dr. Walter Zeltner, who will serve as principal investigator, and will be accomplished in collaboration with the University of Wisconsin. The award will provide funding from July 1, 2010 through June 30, 2011.

SolRayo is developing new nanoparticle-based materials for commercial use in various renewable energy, industrial, consumer, and automotive applications.

STTR is a vital, US government-funded, highly competitive small business program that expands funding opportunities in the federal innovation research and development arena. The program funds certain joint venture opportunities between businesses and non-profit research institutions. Upon the successful completion of the Phase I program, SolRayo may apply for a larger amount and longer duration Phase II award to commercialize the work. The goal of the STTR program is to fully transfer the technologies and products from the laboratory to the marketplace. The business profits from the commercialization, which, in turn, stimulates the U.S. economy.

SolRayo CEO Dr. Mark Daugherty said, "Our research into this technology suggests that battery life can be significantly expanded by using a simple, inexpensive nanoparticle coating process. This could mean a large market opportunity for us in a number of areas, most particularly in military, remote power and transportation applications."

Kevin Leonard, Chief Technology Officer at SolRayo, commented, "Our initial research shows that this process inhibits the degradation of battery cathode materials, especially at higher operating temperatures. This means that a battery's life could be extended significantly by applying an inexpensive, nano-based coating to one of the battery's key components."

Our research results are based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Program under Proposal/Grant No. 1010409. Any opinions, findings, and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this material are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Science Foundation.
