  • Methods of analyzing crude oil
    Patent number: 9733228
    Abstract: The invention generally relates to methods of analyzing crude oil. In certain embodiments, methods of the invention involve obtaining a crude oil sample, and subjecting the crude oil sample to mass spectrometry analysis. In certain embodiments, the method is performed without any sample pre-purification steps.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 23, 2014
    Date of Patent: August 15, 2017
    Assignee: Purdue Research Foundation
    Inventors: Robert Graham Cooks, Fred Paul Mark Jjunju, Anyin Li, Iman S. Rogan
  • Systems and methods for producing metal clusters; functionalized surfaces; and droplets including solvated metal ions
    Patent number: 9719181
    Abstract: The invention generally relates to systems and methods for producing metal clusters; functionalized surfaces; and droplets including solvated metal ions. In certain aspects, the invention provides methods that involve providing a metal and a solvent. The methods additionally involve applying voltage to the solvated metal to thereby produce solvent droplets including ions of the metal containing compound, and directing the solvent droplets including the metal ions to a target. In certain embodiments, once at the target, the metal ions can react directly or catalyze reactions.
