TECHNOLOGY LICENSING OPPORTUNITY: EcoVer

Fluorine-based chemistries, PFAS, are toxic forever chemicals. Fuel cells and electrolyzers use PFAS membranes because of their durability and performance reliability. At this moment, there are no safe hydrocarbon membrane alternatives that match the performance and reliability standards required by industry. EcoVer at Los Alamos National Laboratory is developing a low-cost, chemically mechanically durable hydrocarbon-based membrane that performs similarly to PFAS alternatives. Unlike competitors, our membrane is designed for high mechanical properties a
