  • Patent number: 11603335
    Abstract: A nanoparticle cluster reduction method yields a new composition of matter including a large percentage (e.g., 75% or higher percentage) of primary nanoparticles in the new composition of matter. The particle reduction method reduces the size of nanoparticle clusters in material of the new composition of matter, allows particle reduction of specific nanoparticle cluster sizes, and allows particle reduction to primary nanoparticles. This new composition of matter can include a high permittivity and high resistivity dielectric compound. This new composition of matter, according to certain examples, has high permittivity, high resistivity, and low leakage current. In certain examples, the new composition of matter constitutes a dielectric energy storage device that is a battery with very high energy density, high operating voltage per cell, and an extended battery life cycle. An example method can include a controlled gas evolution reaction to reduce the size of nanoparticle clusters.

  • Patent number: 10847325
    Abstract: A Dense Energy Ultra Cell (DEUC), a dielectric energy storage device and methods of fabrication therefor are provided. A DEUC element is fabricated using print technologies that deposit dielectric energy storage layers (406) and insulating layers (404) together being interleaved between electrode layers (403). The dielectric energy storage layers are created from a proprietary solution to enable printing of dielectric energy storage layers with high permittivity and a high internal resistivity to retain charge. The insulating layers (404) can be applied within the dielectric energy storage layers (406) bifurcating the dielectric energy storage layers for increased resistivity. As part of the fabrication process, the material deposition printer can apply multiple print heads each with different inks and materials (1301, 1302) to form composite material (1303) in the printed layers.
