NEI Corporation is a specialty materials company operating in the advanced materials and nanotechnology industry. The company's main offerings include the development and production of functional and protective coatings, lithium-ion battery materials, and specialty nanoparticle-based products, all designed to meet specific application needs. NEI Corporation primarily serves a broad range of industrial customers worldwide. It was founded in 1997 and is based in Somerset, New Jersey.
Octillion Corp., together with its wholly owned subsidiaries, is a technology incubator focused on the identification, acquisition, development, and commercialization of alternative and renewable energy technologies. Through established relationships with universities, research institutions, government agencies and start-up companies, the company strive to identify technologies and business opportunities on an edge of innovation that have the potential of serving and unmet market needs. nOnce a technology has been identified, the company fund the research and development activities relating to the technology with the intention of ultimately, if warranted, licensing, commercializing and marketing the subject technology, either through internal resources, collaborative agreements or otherwise. Unique to the company's business model is the use of established research infrastructure owned by the various organizations the company deal with, saving us capital which would otherwise be required for such things as land and building acquisition, equipment and furniture purchases, and other incidental start up costs. As a result, the company are able to conduct research in development. nnAmong the company's current research and development activities is the development of a patent-pending technology that could adapt existing home and office glass windows into ones capable of generating electricity from solar energy without losing transparency or requiring major changes in manufacturing infrastructure. The company are also developing a system to harness the kinetic energy of vehicles in motion as part of a broader effort to enhance the sustainability and energy efficiency of transportation infrastructures and systems.
Solarno Incorporated is an early-stage technology development company, focusing on the commercialization of emerging nanotechnologies in the solar energy sector. The company's main offerings include the development of nanomaterials for solar water heater systems, advanced solar cells devices, high energy density supercapacitors, and lighting solutions. Solarno primarily sells to the renewable energy industry. It is based in Coppell, Texas.
Ecoult technology is a hybrid battery combining a 'supercapacitor' and a lead-acid battery in a one-unit cell as a cost effective and high performance electricity storage solution for off-grid renewable energy sources such as solar and wind. The technology is based on the CSIRO developed 'ultrabattery' which has been successfully trailled in hybrid vehicle applications.
Isosceles is a company that received a STTR Phase I grant for a project entitled: Full Spectrum Conjugated Polymers for Highly Efficient Organic Photovoltaics. Their their award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 and their project will demonstrate the feasibility of forming full spectrum highly efficient polymer solar cells from newly designed conjugated and potentially variable bandgap polymers that harvest visible through infrared light. The novel materials will be forged by incorporating Silole and donor-acceptor-donor moieties into the backbone and are expected to increase light harvesting and carrier mobility, and hence short circuit current output potentially by a factor of three over the state of the art. The key innovations of this work will also optimize energy levels to reduce voltage loss and further optimization of device structure and film morphology is expected improve fill factor. The primary objective of phase I is to determine the feasibility of forging full spectrum and high carrier mobility conjugated polymers that achieve highly efficient solar conversion. An ancillary goal of this work is arrive at an understanding of photophysical processes and device physics that will lead to optimal device fabrication during phase II. The environmental, societal and economic impacts of this technology are enormously broad. The ensuing abrupt drop in energy costs stemming from full spectrum harvesting promises to deliver stability and urgently needed relief to today's volatile oil based global economy. While photovoltaic (PV) production is already the fastest growing source of energy across the globe, the planned efforts of this STTR project are expected to disruptively reduce the projected cost of photovoltaic production in 2010 by a factor of 3. At a forecasted production cost of $0.70 per Watt, this research will demonstrate a technology that is competitive with the cost of electricity that is produced from fossil fuels. This technology will provide clean and cost competitive energy for home and industrial power, vehicle propulsion, consumer electronics, remote sensing, security, and an endless list of existing applications that currently rely on energy from fossil fuel.
