Optimization Of Carbon Coatings

View page
US Patent:
20090183650, Jul 23, 2009
Filed:
Jun 12, 2007
Appl. No.:
12/302476
Inventors:
Marca M. Doeff - Hayward CA, US
James D. Wilcox - Berkeley CA, US
Robert Kostecki - Lafayette CA, US
Grace Y. Lau - Fremont CA, US
Assignee:
The Regents of the University of California - Oakland CA
International Classification:
C09D 1/00
B05D 5/12
US Classification:
1062862, 427122, 1062868
Abstract:
Several synthetic additives have been used to improve the carbon coatings on LiFePO4 electrode materials. Pyromellitic acid (PA) added prior to calcination decreases the D/G ratios of the carbon produced in situ, while the use of both iron nitrate and PA results in increased spcharacter. Thus, the carbon coatings are structured with a greater fraction of graphitic character. The production of structured carbon coatings results in higher pressed pellet conductivities of LiFePO/C composites and improved electrochemical performance of cells containing these cathode materials, although the carbon content is not necessarily increased. The combination of both ferrocene and PA used during LiFePOsynthesis causes more carbon to be retained, although the structural characteristics are similar to that produced from the same amount of PA alone.

Electrochromic Device Using Mercaptans And Organothiolate Compounds

View page
US Patent:
54424780, Aug 15, 1995
Filed:
Apr 23, 1992
Appl. No.:
7/872830
Inventors:
Carl M. Lampert - El Sobrante CA
Yan-ping Ma - Berkeley CA
Marca M. Doeff - Hayward CA
Steven Visco - Berkeley CA
Assignee:
The Regents, University of California - Berkeley CA
International Classification:
G02F 1153
US Classification:
359273
Abstract:
An electrochromic cell is disclosed which comprises an electrochromic layer and a composite ion counter electrode for transporting ions. The counter electrode further comprises a polymer electrolyte material and an organosulfur material in which, in its discharged state, the organosulfur material is further comprised of a mercaptan or an organothiolate. In one preferred embodiment, both the electrochromic electrode and the counter electrode are transparent either to visible light or to the entire electromagnetic spectrum in both charged and discharged states. An electrochromic device is disclosed which comprises one or more electrochromic electrodes encased in glass or plastic plates on the inner surface of each of which is formed a transparent electrically conductive film. Electrical contacts, which are in electrical contact with the conductive films, facilitate external electrical connection.

Secondary Cell With Orthorhombic Alkali Metal/Manganese Oxide Phase Active Cathode Material

View page
US Patent:
55589618, Sep 24, 1996
Filed:
Jun 13, 1994
Appl. No.:
8/259658
Inventors:
Marca M. Doeff - Hayward CA
Marcus Y. Peng - Cupertino CA
Yanping Ma - Albany CA
Steven J. Visco - Berkeley CA
Lutgard C. DeJonghe - Lafayette CA
Assignee:
Regents, University of California - Oakland CA
International Classification:
H01M 1038
US Classification:
429224
Abstract:
An alkali metal manganese oxide secondary cell is disclosed which can provide a high rate of discharge, good cycling capabilities, good stability of the cathode material, high specific energy (energy per unit of weight) and high energy density (energy per unit volume). The active material in the anode is an alkali metal and the active material in the cathode comprises an orthorhombic alkali metal manganese oxide which undergoes intercalation and deintercalation without a change in phase, resulting in a substantially linear change in voltage with change in the state of charge of the cell. The active material in the cathode is an orthorhombic structure having the formula M. sub. x Z. sub. y Mn. sub. (1-y) O. sub. 2, where M is an alkali metal; Z is a metal capable of substituting for manganese in the orthorhombic structure such as iron, cobalt or titanium; x ranges from about 0. 2 in the fully charged state to about 0.
