Irena Kuznetsov 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).

  • Method for making metal-air electrode with water soluble catalyst precursors
    Patent number: 6291090
    Abstract: A bifunctional air electrode for a rechargeable metal-air cell is made with water soluble oxygen reduction and oxygen evolution catalyst precursors. The resulting air electrode exhibits greater power output than a conventional air electrode.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 17, 1998
    Date of Patent: September 18, 2001
    Assignee: AER Energy Resources, Inc.
    Inventors: Irena Kuznetsov, Milton Neal Golovin
  • Recharge catalyst with thin film carbon coating, metal-air electrode including said catalyst and methods for making said catalyst and electrode
    Patent number: 6069107
    Abstract: A catalyst composition for use in a rechargeable metal-air electrochemical cell comprises an oxygen evolution catalyst coated with a thin film deposition of carbon. This catalyst is useful to make an air electrode which produces more power in a metal-air cell then a metal-air cell having oxygen evolution catalyst without the thin carbon film.
