Abstract: Methods for making composite anodes, such as macroporous composite anodes, are disclosed. Embodiments of the methods may include forming a tape from a slurry including a substrate metal precursor, an anode active material, a pore-forming agent, a binder, and a solvent. A laminated structure may be prepared from the tape and sintered to produce a porous structure, such as a macroporous structure. The macroporous structure may be heated to reduce a substrate metal precursor and/or anode active material. Macroporous composite anodes formed by some embodiments of the disclosed methods comprise a porous metal and an anode active material, wherein the anode active material is both externally and internally incorporated throughout and on the surface of the macroporous structure.

Abstract: A rechargeable lithium-air battery (10) comprises a non-aqueous, organic-solvent-based electrolyte (16) including a lithium salt and an additive containing an alkylene group, disposed between a spaced-apart pair of a lithium anode (12) and an air cathode (14). The alkylene additive may be alkylene carbonate, alkylene siloxane, or a combination of alkylene carbonate and alkylene siloxane. The alkylene carbonate may be vinylene carbonate, butylene carbonate, or a combination of vinylene carbonate and butylene carbonate. The alkylene siloxane may be a polymerizable silane. The polymerizable silane is triacetoxyvinylsilane.

Abstract: A fan speed control device includes a management selection module, a first and a second buffers, a resistor, a transistor, and a switch. Depending upon whether a motherboard supports a system of a baseboard management control or not, the fan speed control device selectively uses an indicative signal of a serial input and output interface or an indicative signal of the baseboard management control to indicate a power-on status. At the power-on moment, the fan speed control device controls the fan to operate at its minimum speed, so that a system crash due to a power output shortage of a power supply can be avoided. As the system enters stable operation, the fan speed is controlled by a pulse width modulation signal.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a method of making a small crystal SSZ-32 zeolite, known as SSZ-32X. The catalyst is suitable for use in a process whereby a feed including straight chain and slightly branched paraffins having 10 or more carbon atoms is dewaxed to produce an isomerized product, with increased yield of isomerized material and decreased production of light ends.

Abstract: A thin-film battery (10) is disclosed which includes a cathode current collector (11), a cathode (12), an electrolyte (13), an anode (14), and an anode current collector (15). The cathode is produced by grinding lithium cobalt oxide or other suitable cathode material to a powder having a mean particle size of between 5 and 12 microns, forming a liquid slurry with the cathode material, casting the liquid slurry upon a substrate, drying the liquid slurry to form a layer of cathode material, and compressing the cathode layer to a generally uniform and smooth thickness of between 5 and 12 microns. The compressed layer is then heated to a temperature which sinters or melts the peripheral edges of the cathode particles together.
