View page
US Patent:
20130323595, Dec 5, 2013
Filed:
Jun 1, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/486547
Inventors:
Hiesang Sohn - Los Angeles CA, US
Yunfeng Lu - Los Angeles CA, US
Mei Cai - Bloomfield Hills MI, US
Qiangfeng Xiao - Los Angeles CA, US
Mark W. Verbrugge - Troy MI, US
Assignee:
THE REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA - Oakland CA
GM GLOBAL TECHNOLOGY OPERATIONS LLC - Detroit MI
International Classification:
H01M 4/133
H01M 4/1393
H01M 4/131
H01M 4/134
H01M 4/136
US Classification:
429221, 429209, 4292181, 4292311, 42923195, 427122
Abstract:
An example of a lithium ion battery electrode material includes a substrate, and a substantially graphitic carbon layer completely encapsulating the substrate. The substantially graphitic carbon layer is free of voids. Methods for making electrode materials are also disclosed herein.

Making Nanocrystalline Mesoporous Spherical Particles

View page
US Patent:
20120001357, Jan 5, 2012
Filed:
Sep 7, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/226733
Inventors:
Qiangfeng Xiao - Los Angeles CA, US
Mei Cai - Bloomfield Hills MI, US
Hiesang Sohn - Los Angeles CA, US
Yunfeng Lu - Los Angeles CA, US
Assignee:
THE REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA - Oaklnd CA
GM GLOBAL TECHNOLOGY OPERATIONS LLC - Detroit MI
International Classification:
B29B 9/12
B29B 9/16
US Classification:
264 12, 264340
Abstract:
Spherical particles of one or more elemental metals and carbon are prepared from a precursor in the form of a metal oleate. The metal oleate precursor is dispersed in a liquid vehicle and aerosol droplets of the dispersed precursor are formed in a stream of an inert gas. The aerosol droplets are heated in the stream to decompose the oleate ligand portion of the precursor and form spherical particles that have a mesoporous nanocrystalline structure. The open mesopores of the spherical particles provide a high surface area for contact with fluids in many applications. For example, the mesopores can be infiltrated with a hydrogen absorbing material, such as magnesium hydride, in order to increase the hydrogen storage capacity of the particles.

Making Nanostructured Porous Hollow Spheres With Tunable Structure

US Patent:
20120001354, Jan 5, 2012
Filed:
Jul 1, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/828353
Inventors:
Mei CAI - Bloomfield Hills MI, US
Yungeng LU - Los Angeles CA, US
Hiesang SOHN - Los Angeles CA, US
Qiangfeng XIAO - Los Angeles CA, US
Assignee:
GM GLOBAL TECHNOLOGY OPERATIONS, INC. - Detroit MI
International Classification:
B29B 9/00
US Classification:
264 5, 977742
Abstract:
Hollow, porous, spherical metal-carbon composite particles, having nanostructures, are prepared from suitable precursor solutions containing metal-organic ligand coordination complexes with template. Such precursors may be made for each elemental metal to be in the spherical particles. The precursor solution is atomized as an aerosol in an inert gas stream and the aerosol stream heated to decompose the organic ligand portion of the precursor leaving the spherical metal-carbon composite or metal alloy-carbon composite particles. The organic ligand serves as a structure directing agent in the shaping of the spherical particles after the ligand has been removed. Other materials may also be used as permanent or removed templates. The morphology of the particles may be altered for an application by varying the preparation and composition of the metal precursor material, and the optional use of a template.
