Description: This notice concerns a process for electrochemically extracting tellurium and cadmium from end-of-life and manufacturing-scrap CdTe photovoltaic cells. It generates oxidants in situ from oxygen or air instead of relying on externally supplied hydrogen peroxide, reducing dependence on bulk chemicals and the associated environmental footprint. The recovered metals are suitable for reuse in photovoltaic manufacturing, with CdTe photovoltaic recycling identified as a market application.

TECHNOLOGY LICENSING OPPORTUNITY: Protein-Based Rare Earth Recovery via Condensation, developed by scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory, offers a bio-based method to capture and concentrate rare earth elements from complex liquid mixtures using engineered Lanmodulin (EP-LanM) proteins that self-assemble into recoverable condensates. The technology is at TRL 3 with a U.S. Patent pending (LA-UR-26-25158) and supports applications in critical minerals recovery, mining, e-waste recycling, environmental remediation, and biomanufacturing. This is a Special Notice, not a procurement or grant — LANL is seeking industry partners to license and commercialize the technology.

Los Alamos National Laboratory is offering SiloGetter, a 3D-printed siloxane composite designed to capture hydrogen in sealed electronics, vacuum instruments, metal containers, and aerospace applications. The printable material can be shaped to fit devices and absorbs more than 80% of available hydrogen while retaining good mechanical properties. The laboratory offers the technology through exclusive or non-exclusive licensing agreements; the notice is not a call for external development services.
