Destabilized And Catalyzed Borohydride For Reversible Hydrogen Storage

View page
US Patent:
8105974, Jan 31, 2012
Filed:
Jun 16, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/485373
Inventors:
Rana F. Mohtadi - Northville MI, US
Kenji Nakamura - Toyota, JP
Ming Au - Martinez GA, US
Ragaiy Zidan - Alken SC, US
Assignee:
Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing North America, Inc. - Erlanger KY
The United States of America as represented by the United States Department of Energy, Savannah River - Washington DC
International Classification:
B01J 23/00
B01J 20/00
C01B 6/24
C01B 3/02
US Classification:
502300, 502400, 423644, 4236481
Abstract:
A process of forming a hydrogen storage material, including the steps of: providing a first material of the formula M(BH), where M is an alkali metal or an alkali earth metal, providing a second material selected from M(AlH), a mixture of M(AlH)and MCl, a mixture of MCland Al, a mixture of MCland AlH, a mixture of MHand Al, Al, and AlH. The first and second materials are combined at an elevated temperature and at an elevated hydrogen pressure for a time period forming a third material having a lower hydrogen release temperature than the first material and a higher hydrogen gravimetric density than the second material.

Catalyzed Borohydrides For Hydrogen Storage

View page
US Patent:
8124558, Feb 28, 2012
Filed:
May 17, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/130750
Inventors:
Ming Au - Augusta GA, US
Assignee:
Savannah River Nuclear Solutions, LLC - Aiken SC
International Classification:
B01J 23/00
B01J 20/00
C01B 6/24
C01B 3/02
US Classification:
502300, 502400, 423544, 4236481
Abstract:
A hydrogen storage material and process is provided in which alkali borohydride materials are created which contain effective amounts of catalyst(s) which include transition metal oxides, halides, and chlorides of titanium, zirconium, tin, and combinations of the various catalysts. When the catalysts are added to an alkali borodydride such as a lithium borohydride, the initial hydrogen release point of the resulting mixture is substantially lowered. Additionally, the hydrogen storage material may be rehydrided with weight percent values of hydrogen at least about 9 percent.

US Patent:
20100279003, Nov 4, 2010
Filed:
Apr 26, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/799466
Inventors:
Ming Au - Martinez GA, US
Assignee:
Savannah River Nuclear Solutions, LLC - Aiken SC
International Classification:
H01M 4/04
B05D 5/12
US Classification:
427123, 4271263, 4271266, 977773, 977948
Abstract:
The nanoscale architecture of anode materials and the process for forming an anode for a lithium ion battery is provided along with an apparatus. The anodes comprise aligned nanorods of metals which are formed on metallic substrates. When used as the anodes in a lithium-ion battery, the resulting battery demonstrates higher energy storage capacity and has greater capability to accommodate the volume expansion and contraction during repeated charging and discharging.

Rechargeable Lithium Air Batteries

US Patent:
20130115527, May 9, 2013
Filed:
Nov 3, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/288583
Inventors:
Ming Au - Martinez GA, US
Assignee:
SAVANNAH RIVER NUCLEAR SOLUTIONS, LLC - AIKEN SC
International Classification:
H01M 4/86
H01M 8/22
B82Y 30/00
US Classification:
429405, 429534, 977742, 977811, 977780, 977762
Abstract:
A rechargeable non-aqueous lithium-air battery is provided having a multilayered cathode structure which uses a functionized carbon paper base with tubular catalysts. The multilayer cathode has a sufficient pore size to prevent clogging of the cathode by reaction products and further has a hydrophobic coating to repel moisture. The stable electrolyte is made by ionic liquid and additives which have no reaction with discharge products and offers solubility for oxygen and lithium oxide.
