8 Technology Marketing Summaries
Category	Title and Abstract	Laboratories	Date
Solar Photovoltaic	Sputtered Thin Film Photovoltaics The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) has developed a suite of processes for the fabrication of bulk and sputtered thin film copper indium gallium diselenide (CIGS) and related materials for photovoltaic (PV) applications.	Naval Research Laboratory	03/19/2012
Hydrogen and Fuel Cell	Continuous Sustainable Power Supply The Naval Research Laboratory's benthic microbial fuel cell (BMFC) is a non-depletable power supply for marine-deployed applications. The BMFC oxidizes organic matter in the marine sediment with the oxygen available in the surrounding water. BMFC makes an ideal power source for continual and remote sensor operations.	Naval Research Laboratory	02/03/2012
Advanced Materials Building Energy Efficiency Industrial Technologies	Reactive and Catalytic Air Purification Materials Sorbents for the removal of toxic in-dustrial gases such as ammonia and phosgene. The materials offer reactive and/or catalytic sites within a high surface area, hierarchical pore structure.	Naval Research Laboratory	10/06/2011
Energy Analysis Energy Storage Industrial Technologies	Fiber-Optic Environmental Radiation Dosimeter All-optical, fiber-optic-coupled remote radiation sensor using NRL’s luminescent, copper-doped quartz material. The key to the technology is the doped quartz material that produces a luminescence signal that is directly proportional to the radiation dose. Individual sensors have an estimated cost of $50 and a lifespan of decades. The sensor is less than 7 mm in diameter by 10 cm in length and is fiber-optic-coupled to a photodetec-tor that is remotely located away from the... read more	Naval Research Laboratory	10/06/2011
Advanced Materials Industrial Technologies	Catalytic Self-Decontaminating Materials Self-decontaminating structures based on porphyrin-embedded, target imprinted, porous, organosilicate sorbents. The materials rapidly sequester targets as a result of the affinity of the sorbent structures. Catalysis proceeds upon stimulation of the porphyrin moieties through illumination or by an applied current.	Naval Research Laboratory	06/17/2011
Advanced Materials Industrial Technologies	RAPID-CURE COATINGS SYSTEM The Naval Research Laboratory has developed a durable, rapid cure coatings system that is designed for harsh environments. Developed for the maritime industry, it is suit-able for the interior & exterior of shipboard structures and tanks as well as other appli-cations where performance counts.	Naval Research Laboratory	06/01/2011
Advanced Materials Electricity Transmission	AlSb/InAs HIGH ELECTRON MOBILITY TRANSISTORS The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) has developed materials growth and fabrication technology for the manufacture of high-speed, low power AlSb/InAs high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) that exhibit state-of-the-art low-power performance.	Naval Research Laboratory	06/01/2011
Energy Storage	High-performance Electrochemical Capacitors A capacitor comprising an anode, cathode, and an electrolyte, wherein the anode, the cathode, or both comprise a composite of porous carbon structure with a coating on the surface of MnO2, and a current collector in electrical contact with the composite	Naval Research Laboratory	05/23/2011
