About this award
This is a firm fixed price purchase order issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Dioxide Materials, Inc. (Dioxide), a small business. The objective is to adapt Dioxide's carbon dioxide (CO2) electrolyzers, currently being developed under support from the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E), for NASA missions. The work will focus on modifying Dioxide's proprietary polymer-based electrolyzers to operate with minimal water and withstand higher differential pressures. This $125,000 Phase I Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract was awarded on July 27, 2018, with a completion date of February 15, 2019. Dioxide has previously received federal awards from the Department of Energy and Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy to support the development of carbon capture and conversion technologies.
Description
The objective of this proposal is to adapt the CO2 electrolyzers currently being developed under arpa-E support to NASA missions. The devices are similar to a solid oxide electrolyzer, in that they can operate on dry CO2, but the devices use a proprietary polymer rather than a solid oxide to allow them to operate at room temperature (~25 C). In arpa-E supported work, we have already demonstrated CO2 electrolysis for 3000 hours and 95% selectivity under wet conditions and 100 hours with a dry cathode. 5000 hour tests are scheduled shortly. In the proposed work, we will adapt the devices to NASA missions. In particular, we will modify our membranes so they can be run with minimal water, improve strength to allow higher differential pressure operation, and complete the various tests requested in the BAA.
