David M. Bierschenk 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: 20190356008
    Abstract: The present embodiment describes a method of forming different layers in a solid oxide fuel cell. The method begins by preparing slurries which are then delivered to a spray nozzle. The slurries are then atomized and sprayed subsequently onto a support to produce a layer which is then dried. In this embodiment different layers can comprise an anode, an electrode and a cathode. Also, the support can be a metal or a metal oxide which is later removed.

  • Patent number: 10326157
    Abstract: A solid oxide fuel cell comprising a cathode, an electrolyte, a functional layer and an anode support. The anode support comprises A-B-C: A is a nitrate, an oxide, a salt or a carbonate selected from the group of: alkali, alkaline oxide, alkaline earth metal or combinations thereof, B is selected from the group of: Fe, Ni, Cu, Co or combinations thereof, and C is selected from the group of: PSZ, YSZ, SSZ, SDC, Ce doped SSZ, GDC or combinations thereof. In the solid oxide fuel cell A ranges from about 0 to about 20 wt % of the anode support, B ranges from about 0.1 to about 70 wt % of the anode support and C ranges from about 0.1 to about 60 wt % of the anode support.

  • Publication number: 20170067169
    Abstract: The current embodiment describes a process of flowing an oxidant species over the reducing side of an oxygen transport membrane. O2? anions are then continuously transported from the reducing side through the oxygen transport membrane to the oxidizing side where an organic compound is converted to a partially oxidized organic compound on the oxidizing side.
