  • Publication number: 20170252729
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to novel germanosilicate compositions and methods of producing the same. In particular, this disclosure describes an array of transformations originating from the extra-large-pore crystalline germanosilicate compositions, designated CIT-13, possessing 10- and 14-membered rings. Included among the new materials are the new phyllosilicate compositions, designated CIT-13P, new crystalline microporous germanosilicates including high silica versions of CIT-5 and CIT-13, with and without added metal oxides, and new germanosilicate compounds designated CIT-14 and CIT-15. The disclosure also describes methods of preparing these new germanosilicate compositions as well as the compositions themselves.

  • Patent number: 9677817
    Abstract: Ammonium carbamate-based methods and systems for management of thermal loads, particularly low-quality, high-flux thermal loads. The increase in temperature in heat sensitive devices is mitigated by the endothermic decomposition of ammonium carbamate into carbon dioxide and ammonia gases. This process has an energy density an order of magnitude greater than conventional thermal management materials and is particularly useful for temperatures between 20° C. and 100° C. Systems incorporating ammonium carbamate may be controlled by regulating the fluid flow, overhead pressure, temperature, or combinations thereof.

  • Publication number: 20170001872
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to a new crystalline microporous silicate solid, designated CIT-10, comprising a two dimensional layered structure, having an organic interlayer sandwiched between individual crystalline silicate layers. This CIT-10 material can be converted to a pure-silicate of RTH topology, as well as two new of pillared silicate structures, designated CIT-11 and CIT-12. This disclosure characterizes new materials and provides methods of preparing and using these new crystalline microporous solids.

  • Publication number: 20160346771
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to novel crystalline germanosilicate compositions and methods of producing the same. In particular, the crystalline germanosilicate compositions are extra-large-pore compositions, designated CIT-13 possessing 10- and 14-membered rings. The disclosure describes methods of preparing these compositions using substituted benzyl-imidazolium organic structure-directing agents (OSDAs). Also disclosed are methods of using these crystalline compositions.
