The tender in brief
Licence to commercialise a NASA carbon fibre sleeve that stops lithium-ion battery thermal runaway
NASA offers licence rights, exclusive or non-exclusive and possibly limited to specific fields of use, to commercialise a carbon fibre reinforced polymer sleeve that fits over cylindrical lithium-ion cells and contains a thermal runaway to the cell where it starts. The technology is at prototype demonstration level and targets cells such as the 18650 used in power tools, laptops, cameras, e-bikes and electric cars. NASA provides no funding with these licences.
