  • CATALYSTS AND METHODS FOR MAKING AND USING THE SAME
    Publication number: 20250149601
    Abstract: A method for making a catalyst composition is disclosed. The method includes placing a substrate with at least one precursor composition disposed thereon in contact with a ferromagnetic material and placing the substrate and the ferromagnetic material within an induction solenoid. The method further includes generating an alternating magnetic field within the induction solenoid upon energization by a power source supplying alternating current, thereby heating the substrate and the ferromagnetic material to a temperature of from about 200 c to about 1,500 c.
    Type: Application

  • Ruthenium and nitrogen doped carbon matrix catalyst and methods for making and using thereof
    Patent number: 12129561
    Abstract: A catalyst nanocomposite and methods of making the same. The catalyst nanocomposite includes a substrate; and a coating disposed on the substrate, the coating having a ruthenium and nitrogen co-doped carbon matrix. The coating may be melamine and formaldehyde and produced via pyrolizing the melamine and formaldehyde on a nanowire made of metals such as tellurium.
