SBIR Phase II: Domestically produced, novel carbon-based active anode materials for rechargeable lithium ion batteries

CONOVATE, INC. operates in sbir phase iib, energy storage or transmission based in WAUWATOSA, WI, founded in 2016.

Profile

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) project is both to provide novel, domestically produced raw materials to the US battery supply chain and to generate affordable, safer, fast-charging, long-lasting lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) for electronics. With these raw materials, the US can manufacture lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) using its own resources; US battery manufacturers need no longer depend on foreign suppliers. The manufacturing process will employ readily available US manufacturing capabilities to generate domestically produced, value-added materials and thus strengthen the high-tech US economy that critically needs new materials for more effective energy storage. Further, the proposed materials will improve battery performance and safety, such as in wireless, battery-powered medical devices (e.g., implants and sensors) that use phone apps to monitor people's health and welfare. These apps need improved LIBs made from novel, lighter, and safer anode materials that can charge faster and store more energy than current versions.

This SBIR Phase II project proposes to introduce a value-added active anode material with high-quality performance to the battery supply chain. The anode material aims to reduce the quantity of expensive—but critical—cathode materials (Ni, Co, and others) required for successful battery designs.

Its activity falls under sbir phase iib, energy storage or transmission; the profile below is assembled from public directory data.

The company is recorded as being based in WAUWATOSA, WI.

It is recorded at the SBIR Phase II stage.

The company reports a headcount in the 1-10 range.

Public records show total funding of about $1.5M.
