Publication number: 20240069272Abstract: The invention relates to microstructured optical fibers that are drawn through hollow channels and have a core region, which extends along a fiber longitudinal axis, and a jacket region surrounding the core region. The aim of the invention is to reduce a damping increase due to corrosion and to reduce the emission of chlorine on the basis of the microstructured optical fibers. This is achieved in that at least some of the hollow channels are delimited by a wall material made of synthetic quartz glass which has a chlorine concentration of less than 300 wt. ppm and oxygen deficiency centers in a concentration of at least 2×1015 cm-3.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 9, 2021Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Christian NEUMANN, Manuel ROSENBERGER, Kay SCHUSTER, Jaqueline PLASS

Patent number: 10879537Abstract: Known lithium-ion cells for a secondary battery including an electrode have an active material layer containing active material particles in contact with a non-aqueous electrolyte and a particulate, porous additive. Using this as a basis, it is desired to achieve an improvement in the lithium-ion cells in respect of their gravimetric and volumetric energy density and in respect of inexpensive and reproducible production, and in particular to ensure that the desired properties of the active material layer are not changed, or are not changed to an unacceptable degree, by compression during calendering. Accordingly, it is proposed to use, as an additive, porous carbon particles having a porosity in the range between 50% and 95% and having macropores which are fluidically connected to one another and which are delimited by carbon walls having an average wall thickness in the range of 5 to 500 nm.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2014Date of Patent: December 29, 2020Assignee: HERAEUS QUARZGLAS GMBH & CO.
