  • Patent number: 11905302
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a prelithiation solution and a method for preparing a prelithiated anode using the same. The prelithiation solution and the method for preparing a prelithiated anode using the same according to the present disclosure allow uniform intercalation of lithium ions throughout the anode chemically in a solution via a simple process of immersing the anode in a prelithiation solution having a sufficiently low redox potential as compared to an anode active material. A prelithiated anode prepared by this method has an ideal initial coulombic efficiency and a lithium secondary battery with a high energy density can be prepared based thereon. In addition, the prepared anode is advantageously applicable to large-scale production due to superior stability even in dry air.

  • Patent number: 11904327
    Abstract: A liquid desalination system is disclosed. The liquid desalination system includes a feed line having an inlet to receive liquid and an outlet to discharge the liquid. The liquid desalination system includes a magnet coupled to the feed line, the magnet to generate an oscillating magnetic field within the feed line and in opposition to the feed water flow. The removal of targeted ions can be achieved by manipulating the frequency and rate of the generated electromagnetic waves. The generated electromagnetic waves can be tuned to weaken the hydration bonds of that specific ion and facilitate its removal. The liquid desalination system generates an electric field across the feed line to enable the liquid to flow through the electric field. The electric field may attract sodium ions to a positive electrode and may attract chloride ions to a negative electrode, to desalinate the liquid in the feed line.
