  • Patent number: 11855037
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method (110) for producing an electrically conductive connection (112, 112?) on a substrate (114), comprising the following steps: a) providing a substrate (114), wherein the substrate (114) is configured for receiving an electrically conductive connection (112, 112?); b) providing a reservoir of an electrically conductive liquid alloy, wherein the reservoir has a surface at which the alloy has an insulating layer; c) providing a capillary (120) configured for taking up the electrically conductive liquid alloy; d) penetrating of a tip (122) of the capillary (120) under the surface of the reservoir and taking up of a portion of the alloy from the reservoir; and e) applying the portion of the alloy at least partly to the substrate (114) in such a manner that an electrically conductive connection (112, 112?) is formed from the alloy on the substrate (114), wherein the alloy remains on the substrate (114) by adhesion.

  • Patent number: 9231246
    Abstract: A method is provided to synthesize nanocomposites containing intercalated FeF2— or Fe2O3— nanoparticles in a graphitic carbon matrix by reaction of a volatile iron compound with a graphite fluoride (CFx) or a graphite oxide (COx). Additionally provided is a nanocomposite material containing intercalated FeF2— or Fe2O3— nanoparticles in a graphitic carbon matrix and its use as an electrochemically active material in particular for use in electrochemical storage cells.
