  • Coating surfaces with nanostructures
    Patent number: 11414761
    Abstract: At least one substrate part for is provided for coating. A first deposition is provided on the at least one support part as microstructuring of at least one first substance selected from the group consisting of rhenium, ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, silver, osmium, iridium, platinum, gold, tin, zinc, copper, cobalt, lead, nickel and alloys comprising these, from at least one first compound which provides the at least one first substance. A second deposition is provided on the at least one support part as a nano-structuring of at least one second substance chosen from a group comprising rhenium, ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, silver, osmium, iridium, platinum, gold and/or alloys thereof, of at least one second compound which provides the at least one second substance, in a solution.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 11, 2016
    Date of Patent: August 16, 2022
    Assignee: ALBERT-LUDWIGS-UNIVERSITÄT FREIBURG
    Inventors: Patrick Daubinger, Jochen Kieninger, Gerald Urban
  • Electrode structure and method of manufacturing an electrode structure
    Patent number: 11156579
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing an electrode structure includes providing an initial structure, the initial structure including at least two elevated regions extending from a substrate, wherein top portions of the two elevated regions are separated by a first lateral distance, depositing material onto the elevated regions by means of physical vapor deposition such that adjacent top portions of the deposited material are separated by a second lateral distance that is smaller than the first lateral distance, and applying electrodes onto the top portions of the material.
    Type: Grant
