In plain English
Los Alamos National Laboratory is offering licensing opportunities for SonicCoat, a non-destructive ultrasonic system that measures catalyst coatings during production. The technology is aimed at makers of fuel cells, electrolyzers, batteries, solar films, semiconductors, and other coated products. It is a TRL 4 technology with a U.S. patent pending (LA-UR-26-28073); exclusive and non-exclusive licenses may be available. This is not a request for outside development services.
About this bid
Non-Invasive Ultrasonic Coating Evaluation for Electrochemical Systems Makers of fuel cells, electrolyzers and other electrochemical devices depend on catalyst coatings applied with tight consistency; yet, today’s inspection tools force production to pause so samples can be pulled and studied in a laboratory. SonicCoat, developed by researchers at Los Alamos National Laboratory, offers a faster path: A gentle ultrasonic probe reads how much catalyst has been laid down while the coating line keeps running, giving producers real-time confidence in every layer without slowing throughput or harming the part. The payoff is higher yield, more uniform device performance and lower material cost…
