CLEVELAND--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Octet Scientific, Inc. has been awarded $1 Million from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program to conduct research and development (R&D) work on making safer and more sustainable grid-scale battery storage.
Zinc-based batteries are emerging as safe, economical, sustainable, and made-in-the-USA options for our transition to renewable energy. Octet Scientific is playing a key role by being the first company to develop new chemicals specifically for zinc batteries, making them last longer, hold more energy, and run more efficiently. This funding will accelerate Octet's product optimization and production scale-up to meet the rising needs of the grid storage market.
"NSF accelerates the translation of emerging technologies into transformative new products and services," said Erwin Gianchandani, NSF Assistant Director for Technology, Innovation and Partnerships. "We take great pride in funding deep-technology startups and small businesses that will shape science and engineering results into meaningful solutions for today and tomorrow."
"Imagine nonflammable, nontoxic, high-performance batteries that are mined, manufactured, used, and recycled right here in the US," says Octet founder and CEO, Onas Bolton. "They are possible today with zinc, and with our chemicals they will be the most competitive option for tomorrow's power grid!"

Once a small business is awarded a Phase I SBIR/STTR grant, it becomes eligible to apply for Phase II funding and additional supplements totaling up to $1.7 million. To get started, startups or entrepreneurs submit a written Project Pitch to see if their technology idea could be a good fit for the program.
