Carlo Santoro 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).

  • Biological and stand-alone super-capacitors for water treatment
    Patent number: 10784548
    Abstract: Supercapacitive bioelectrical systems (SC-BESs) wherein the anode and cathode act as electrodes for a self-powered internal supercapacitor. The BES may further be enhanced by the use of optimized catalysts and enzymes to increase cell voltage and the use of a third capacitive electrode (AdE) short-circuited to the BES cathode and coupled to the BES anode to improve the power output of the self-powered internal supercapacitor.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 2, 2016
    Date of Patent: September 22, 2020
    Assignees: STC.UNM, Alma Mater Studiorum'Università di Bologna
    Inventors: Carlo Santoro, Alexey Serov, Plamen B. Atanassov, Francesca Soavi, Catia Arbizzani
