Diane Dickie 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).

  • Metal phosphide nanomaterials prepared from single source metal amides
    Patent number: 10836638
    Abstract: The present invention provides a novel solution or route for metal phosphide (MPx) nanomaterials from the thermal decomposition of metal bis[bis(diisopropylphosphino)amide], M[N(PPri2)2]2, and/or single-source precursors. Synthetic routes to MPx nanomaterials may be used in energy applications including batteries, semiconductors, magnets, catalyst, lasers, inks, electrocatalysts and photodiodes.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 8, 2016
    Date of Patent: November 17, 2020
    Assignee: UNM Rainforest Innovations
    Inventors: Richard Alan Kemp, Diane Dickie, Bernadette A. Hernandez-Sanchez, Timothy N. Lambert
  • Carbon dioxide transformation facilitated by earth abundant metals
    Patent number: 10131996
    Abstract: Novel complexes of various earth-abundant, inexpensive transition or main group metals that facilitate the transformation of carbon dioxide into other more useful organic products. These complexes can bind and alter the CO2 at mild conditions of temperature and pressure, enabling, according to some embodiments, the electrochemical conversion of CO2 into new products.
