The U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) awarded a $12,499,583 Cooperative Agreement to ACS Industries Inc. under the Renewable Energy Research and Development program (CFDA 81.087). The 4-year project aims to develop an all-in-one manufacturing pilot line for advanced anode packs, incorporating single-step diffusion bonding, single-pass in-line PVD coating, and the use of microexpanded porous transport layers (PTLs). Key objectives include improving manufacturing efficiency, enhancing coatings, and incorporating novel PTL designs. In addition, the project includes community-focused initiatives to benefit disadvantaged areas around the primary project location in Lincoln, RI, as well as near an ACS manufacturing facility.
