Theodore STERIOTIS has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Carbon material for hydrogen storage
    Patent number: 9440850
    Abstract: The present invention relates to carbon based materials that are employed for hydrogen storage applications. The material may be described as the pyrolysis product of a molecular precursor such as a cyclic quinone compound. The pyrolysis product may then be combined with selected transition metal atoms which may be in nanoparticulate form, where the metals may be dispersed on the material surface. Such product may then provide for the reversible storage of hydrogen. The metallic nanoparticles may also be combined with a second metal as an alloy to further improve hydrogen storage performance.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 17, 2008
    Date of Patent: September 13, 2016
    Assignee: SOUTHWEST RESEARCH INSTITUTE
    Inventors: Athanasios Bourlinos, Theodore Steriotis, Athanasios Stubos, Michael A Miller
