TECHNOLOGY LICENSING OPPORTUNITY: Acid-tuned Terphenyl Membranes (ATM)

Los Alamos National Laboratory is offering a technology licensing opportunity for its Acid‑tuned Terphenyl Membrane (ATM) platform, a hydrocarbon membrane that achieves higher proton conductivity with dramatically reduced water uptake, targeting hydrogen‑related energy markets. The licensing model allows companies to acquire exclusive or non‑exclusive rights to commercialize the membrane technology in fuel cells, electrolyzers, and related electro‑chemical devices. Interested firms must submit a response by the deadline and may negotiate royalty or upfront licensing fees. • ATM delivers 87 mS/cm conductivity at 80 °C with only 20 % water uptake – a performance advantage over traditional hydrocarbon membranes. • The technology is protected by a pending U.S. patent (LA‑UR‑26‑26025) and can be applied to hydrogen generation, transportation, power generation, energy storage, and off‑road equipment. • Licensing is open to both established firms and startups; discussions are to be routed through LANL’s licensing office ([email protected]).
