Cafer Tayyar Yavuz has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Publication number: 20240050933
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to catalysts for dry reforming, methods of producing the catalysts, and methods of using the catalysts in dry reforming. The catalysts contain nickel, molybdenum and a metal oxide. The methods of producing the catalysts include adding a solvent to precipitate the catalyst, followed by removing the solvent. The solvent addition and removal steps can be repeated as desired.

  • Patent number: 11618015
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a dry reforming catalyst in which an active material is impregnated on the surface of a metal oxide support and the active material is surrounded by a surfactant, a method of preparing the same, and a method of producing a synthetic gas using the catalyst. Since the surfactant on the surface of the active material prevents the active material from being sintered and the active material surface from being covered with carbon, the dry reforming catalyst exhibits high activity at high temperature for a long period of time without having to use a precious metal, and thus is useful for the production of a synthetic gas.

  • Patent number: 10961343
    Abstract: A porous porphyrin polymer and a method of recovering precious metal elements using the same are described. A porous porphyrin polymer represented by Formula 1 has high selectivity for precious metal elements and a high ability to adsorb precious metal elements, and can be applied to the recovery of precious metal elements either from metal leachates of waste electronic products or from river water or seawater.
