SafeLi, a start-up based on the discovery of solid carbon monoxide at room temperature and pressure, that is demonstrating improves the performance of lithium-ion batteries had the opportunity to meet with battery and materials experts at NASA and OAI. With these experts, we identified new opportunities for where this novel material might have an impact and identified the next steps to realize these potential applications. In addition, critical introductions are also being made to accelerate our path to market. All of these activities are crucial to and invaluable for the continued development of SafeLi as a start-up that will make it possible to disrupt the lithium-ion battery market with SafeLi’s advanced materials.

The Ohio Aerospace Institute helped us through our SBIR applications and gave us the needed perspective on where we were in the process. And after we received an NSF SBIR grant, they continued to help us by providing the support and connections we needed to get our company’s documentation in order and execute on the grant. The Ohio Aerospace Institute has been and continues to be a great resource for us and the Ohio startup community!
