  • Functionalized phosphorus containing fluoropolymers and electrolyte compositions
    Patent number: 9543619
    Abstract: Provided herein are functionally substituted fluoropolymers suitable for use in liquid and solid non-flammable electrolyte compositions. The functionally substituted fluoropolymers include phosphate-terminated or phosphonate-terminated perfluoropolyethers (PFPEs) having high ionic conductivity. Also provided are non-flammable electrolyte compositions including phosphate-terminated or phosphonate-terminated perfluoropolyethers (PFPEs) and alkali-metal ion batteries including the non-flammable electrolyte compositions.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 1, 2016
    Date of Patent: January 10, 2017
    Assignee: Blue Current, Inc.
    Inventors: Alexander Teran, Benjamin Rupert, Eduard Nasybulin, Joanna Burdynska
  • Ligands designed to provide highly active catalyst complexes
    Patent number: 9533297
    Abstract: A series of ligands with site specific electron donating substituents that form a catalyst complex with a transition metal and are suitable for catalysis of atom transfer radical reactions, including ATRP are described. Faster catalysis rates were observed allowing for low catalyst concentrations and linear increases in molecular weight with monomer conversion, and narrow molecular weight distributions. Cyclic voltammetry revealed that increasing the strength and number of conjugated electron donating groups resulted in more stable complexes and larger ATRP equilibrium constants.
