Patent number: 11885012Abstract: The invention relates to methods for the production of high quality graphene. In particular, the invention relates to single-step thermal methods which can be carried out in an ambient-air or vacuum environment using renewable biomass as a carbon source. Specifically, the invention comprises heating a metal substrate and carbon source in a sealed ambient environment to a temperature which produces carbon vapour from the carbon source such that the vapour comes into contact with the metal substrate, maintaining the temperature for a time sufficient to form a graphene lattice and then cooling the substrate at a controlled rate to form a deposited graphene.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 2021Date of Patent: January 30, 2024Assignee: Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research OrganizationInventors: Dong Han Seo, Shafique Pineda, Zhao Jun Han, Kostyantyn Ostrikov

Patent number: 10914493Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to multi-stage falling particle receivers and methods of falling particle heating. As the particles fall through the receiver, the particles are periodically collected and released by flow retarding devices. The periodic catch-and-release of the particles falling through the receiver reduces particle flow dispersion, increases particle opacity and solar absorption, and reduces erosion and damage to surfaces caused by direct particle impingement.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2019Date of Patent: February 9, 2021Assignees: National Technology & Engineering Solutions of Sandia, LLC, Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research OrganizationInventors: Clifford K.
