  • Patent number: 12136682
    Abstract: Compound semiconductor and silicon-based structures are epitaxially formed on semiconductor substrates and transferred to a carrier substrate. The transferred structures can be used to form discrete photovoltaic and light-emitting devices on the carrier substrate. Silicon-containing layers grown on doped donor semiconductor substrates and compound semiconductor layers grown on off-cut semiconductor substrates form elements of the devices. The carrier substrates may be electrically insulating substrates or include electrically insulating layers to which photovoltaic and/or light-emitting structures are bonded.

  • Patent number: 11961958
    Abstract: A composition includes an electrode made of Lithium Manganese Oxyfluoride (LMOF). A single layer separator adheres to a surface of the electrode, is a dielectric that is conductive for Lithium ions but not electrons, and has top and bottom sides. A solid polymer electrolyte (SPE) saturates the electrode so that the LMOF is between 55 percent and 85 percent by mass of a composition of the LMOF electrode and the SPE is between 7.5 percent and 20 percent by mass of the composition of the LMOF electrode. The SPE saturates the separator so that the SPE resides both on the separator top and bottom sides so that the SPE residing on the separator top side contacts the surface. The LMOF exhibits X-Ray Diffraction spectrum peaks between twenty-two and twenty-four 2-theta degrees, between forty-eight and fifty 2-theta degrees, between fifty-four and fifty-six 2-theta degrees, and between fifty-six and fifty-eight 2-theta degrees.

  • Publication number: 20240102201
    Abstract: An element to be used as an anode in a lithium-ion battery comprising a lithiated single crystal porous-silicon layer made on the surface of a p-doped single crystal Si of thickness 25-1000 mm and resistivity of less than 0.01-ohm cm. Successful lithiation is achieved either electrochemically or by direct alloying of lithium metal with the porous-Si with a wide range of porosities. The lithiated silicon anode allows a high cathode loading in a lithium-ion battery resulting in record current densities without the formation of lithium dendrites.
