The broader impact/commercial potential of this Partnerships for Innovation - Technology Translation (PFI-TT) project is to improve existing industrial processes using bipolar membranes (BPMs), such as the production of acid and base for water treatment, and enable new ones, such as capturing carbon dioxide from the ocean and air and using it to form fuels and chemicals. The global market revenue expected to increase from $90 M to $240 M by 2027, with greater growth possible if BPMs are used in emerging carbon dioxide capture and utilization applications. This project will enable commercial BPM processes to durably operate 10x faster than existing processes, therefore dramatically lowering cost. The proposed project will address key challenges to: (1) develop adhesive processes that maintain or improve upon the electrochemical performance in current small-scale research BPMs made without adhesive, which is essential for applications and long-term durability; (2) characterize and optimize the BPM ion selectivity and demonstrate improved performance in commercially relevant electrodialysis systems, (3) develop and use accelerated stress tests to forecast end-of-life electrodialysis performance for optimized BPMs and compare the performance and lifetimes to current commercial BPMs, while mitigating the identified degradation modes to implement designs that yield a lifetime of a minimum of two years, and (4) develop a scalable roll-to-roll process for scalable BPM fabrication.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

这种伙伴关系对创新 - 技术翻译（PFI -TT）项目的更广泛的影响/商业潜力是使用双极膜（BPM）改善现有的工业过程，例如生产酸和水处理基础，并启用新的，例如捕获新的二氧化碳，从海洋和空气中捕获二氧化碳，并使用它形成燃料和化学物质和化学物质。到2027年，全球市场收入预计将从90 m美元增加到240 m美元，如果在新兴二氧化碳捕获和利用应用中使用BPM，则可能会增加增长。该项目将使商业BPM流程比现有流程快10倍，因此大大降低了成本。拟议的项目将应对以下方面的关键挑战：（1）开发粘合剂过程，以维持或改善当前无粘合剂的小规模研究BPM的电化学性能，这对于应用和长期耐用性至关重要； （2）表征和优化BPM离子选择性，并在商业相关的电透析系统中表现出改善的性能，（3）开发和使用加速的压力测试，以预测终止终止的电溶性性能，以优化BPMS，并将绩效和生命的绩效与当前的商业bpms进行比较，以使二级验证的降级范围降低了一定的指定，以使一定程度地指定量度，以使一定的降级定义，并在某种程度上进行了一个模仿，并将其定为模样，并将其模仿化为MOFYES，并将其模仿化为MOYTIVER，并将（4）为可扩展的BPM制造开发可扩展的滚动过程。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并且使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响评估标准，被认为值得通过评估来获得支持。
