Ir īstais brīdis domāt par zinātņietilpīga jaunuzņēmuma veidošanu 

Zinātniskas inovācijas pārvēršana pielietojamā produktā ir ļoti interesants, azartisks un aizraujošs darbs, faktiski – pat dzīves veids, uzskata zinātņietilpīgo jaunuzņēmumu "Nano RAY-T" un "3D Strong" līdzdibinātājas Marina Petričenko un Marija Korabovska.

"Jā, tas prasa daudz laika un pamatīgu iedziļināšanos, jo ne vienmēr uzreiz var ieraudzīt veidu, kā praktiski izmantot konkrēto inovāciju. Taču rezultāti ir tā vērti," atzīst Petričenko.

Jaunuzņēmumi "Nano RAY-T" un "3D Strong", kas attīsta dažādus oglekļa nanocaurulīšu izmantošanas veidus, pavisam nesen ierindoti starp pieciem perspektīvākajiem nanotehnoloģiju startup Austrijā bāzētās platformas "StartUs Insights" versijā. Gan "Nano RAY-T", kas pēta oglekļa nanocaurulīšu izmantošanu akumulatoros, gan "3D Strong", kas nodarbojas ar 3D drukas materiālu piedevu radīšanu, ir sasnieguši vidējo attīstības posmu. Proti, patlaban notiek vai drīzumā sāksies izstrādāto produktu verifikācija industrijas uzņēmumos.

Interese par oglekļa nanocaurulīšu pielietošanu sākās pirms sešiem gadiem, kad zinātnes komercializācijas platformā "Commercialization Reactor" tika izveidots pirmais jaunuzņēmums. Piemēram, šāda tipa akumulatoriem var būt divas reizes lielāka uzlādes jauda nekā tradicionālajām litija jona baterijām.

Tagad ir uzkrāta gana liela pieredze, lai vienlaicīgi varētu strādāt pie vairākiem projektiem. Pirms iesaistīšanās zinātņietilpīgo jaunuzņēmumu attīstīšanā Marija bija darbojusies vairākos ar biznesu saistītos projektos, savukārt Marinai bija pieredze finanšu jomā. Abas atzīst, ka iesaistīšanās startup veidošanā padarījusi dzīvi daudz piesātinātāku un interesantāku.

"Īsā laikā tu iemācies visu: koncentrēti izklāstīt savas idejas, sagatavot prezentāciju, uztaisīt mājas lapu, saprast veidus, kā zinātniskā inovācija var pārtapt reāli lietojamā produktā, kā meklēt kontaktus ar industrijas cilvēkiem un investoriem. Un ar to var sākt nodarboties ikviens, kam piemīt apņēmība un spēja izvirzīt mērķi," stāsta Korabovska.

Ja ir interese par to, kā notiek zinātņietilpīga jaunuzņēmuma veidošana un darbs tā agrīnajā stadijā, tad ikvienam interesentam no 10.septembra ir iespēja piedalīties "Commercialization Reactor", Latvijas Investīciju un attīstības aģentūras (LIAA) un Rīgas Biznesa skolas (RBS) organizētajā tiešsaistes meistarklašu ciklā "Ceļvedis tava viedā biznesa izveidei" ("Roadmap to Your Smart Business")...........

Nano RAY-T – Carbon Nanotube-Enhanced Batteries

Battery technology regularly evolves to achieve a greater charge capacity with a smaller form factor, while maintaining structural integrity. Newly-developed carbon nanotube-based batteries can maintain up to twice the charge of a traditional lithium-ion battery, which is highly beneficial for future applications in 5G and mobile computing, among others.

Nano RAY-T, a startup based in Latvia, provides a technology platform for carbon nanotubes manufacturing. Their platform integrates or grows carbon nanotubes on both conductive and non-conductive substrates. High purity and stable characteristics of their carbon nanotubes create an ideal material for use in multiple applications such as electric vehicles, energy storage, military equipment, and more..........

Projekta nosaukums: Inovatīvu bez-saistvielas anodu elektrodu izveide litija jonu baterijām. Periods: 01.04.2020.-30.06.2020.

Projekta ietvaros projekta partneris SIA Nano RAY-T sintizēja viensienu un daudzsienu oglekļa nanocaurulītes ar garumiem 10-20 mikrometri to pielietojumam Li jonu baterijās. Šīs
nanocaurulītes tika izmantotas pirmo Bi 2 Se 3 heterostruktūru sintēzei LU uz vara strāvas kolektora. Tika analizēta sintezēto heterostruktūru morfoloģija un izvēlēti labākie paraugi elektroķīmisko testu veikšanai. Tika izveidota šūna elektroķīmisko testu veikšanai.

EIT RawMaterials Booster - agreement from 01.04.2020-31.12.2020

During the project we planning to make laboratory prototype of a complete battery sample with Institute of Solid State Physics, University of Latvia.

We belives that with EIT funding and EIT RawMaterials strategic partners will help us to move our technology to the market.

At the moment the technology readiness level is TRL4 –technology validated in lab.

After EIT funding we planning to reach TRL 6 –technology demonstrated in a relevant environment.

At 3 months we planning to make a laboratory prototype of the complete battery sample and validate it in an independent laboratory.
