Novel membranes and meas for high temperature fuel cell operation

The Department of Energy's Office of Science awarded Nanosonic Inc., a for-profit manufacturer based in Pembroke, Virginia, a $200,000 Project Grant under the Office of Science Financial Assistance Program (CFDA 81.049). The grant, awarded on July 22, 2024, will fund the development of novel membranes and measurement technologies for high-temperature fuel cell operation. Nanosonic's expertise in advanced materials, polymers, and sensor systems will be leveraged to address critical energy technology needs. The research project aims to advance U.S. energy, economic, and national security priorities through transformative scientific discoveries in areas such as hydrogen storage, water electrolyzers, and multiphase flow sensors for geothermal applications. The grant funding will support Nanosonic's ongoing work in addressing challenges in energy infrastructure, advanced manufacturing, and sustainable construction through innovative solutions for federal agencies.
