Patents by Inventor Gary Yacobian

Gary Yacobian 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).

  • Patent number: 11834341
    Abstract: Provided are processes for the formation of electrochemically active materials such as lithiated transition metal oxides that solve prior issues with throughput and calcination. The processes include forming precursor materials into agglomerates prior to calcination. The use of the agglomerates improves gas flow into and out of the materials thereby improving calcination results, electrochemical properties of the resulting materials, and allows for use of high temperature kilns not previously suitable for such materials thereby lowering production costs.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 25, 2020
    Date of Patent: December 5, 2023
    Assignee: BASF Corporation
    Inventors: William C. Mays, Diana Wong, Xue Liu, Benjamin Reichman, Martin L. Panchula, Gary A. Yacobian
