  • Patent number: 11742473
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a reduced-graphene-oxide/silicon-metal-particle composite, a method of manufacturing the composite and an electrode for a secondary battery including the composite. The method of manufacturing the reduced-graphene-oxide/silicon-metal-particle composite includes preparing a reduced-graphene-oxide dispersion solution by reducing graphene oxide formed through cation-pi interaction, preparing a reduced-graphene-oxide/silicon-metal-particle dispersion solution by mixing the reduced-graphene-oxide dispersion solution with silicon metal particles, and manufacturing a composite powder having a core-shell structure by drying the reduced-graphene-oxide/silicon-metal-particle dispersion solution. Thereby, reduced graphene oxide can be formed using the graphene oxide dispersion solution having few defects and high purity obtained through cation-pi interaction, and dried to afford a composite powder having a core-shell structure, which is applicable to an electrode for a secondary battery.

  • Patent number: 10660166
    Abstract: The microwave heating apparatus of the present invention enables microwaves to be propagated onto an object to be heated through a waveguide such that the microwaves propagate to a microwave space reduced by a wavelength controller which is arranged, as a solid-state object, to occupy a predetermined space in the waveguide. Thus, the microwave heating apparatus of the present invention heats the object to be heated which has been placed in the reduced space. The microwave heating apparatus of the present invention utilizes the effects of lengthening the wavelength of the microwaves propagating to the reduced space so as to be longer than the wavelength before entering the reduced space by a predetermined multiple depending on a near-cutoff condition.

  • Patent number: 10421123
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a conductive film, the method comprising the steps of: preparing a mixture liquid in which a catalytic metal is dispersed in a precursor or a precursor compound of a two-dimensional nanomaterial; and forming a catalytic metal/two-dimensional nanomaterial by irradiating the mixture liquid with ultrasonic waves to generate microbubbles, degrading the precursor compound using energy, which is generated when the microbubbles burst, to synthesize the two-dimensional nanomaterial on an outer wall of the catalytic metal, wherein the method further comprises: dispersing the catalytic metal/two-dimensional nanomaterial in a dispersion to prepare ink; and applying the ink on a substrate and performing rapid air-sintering. Thus, the two-dimensional nanomaterial is synthesized on an outer wall of a non-noble metal having high oxidative characteristics, thereby preventing oxidation of the metal from air and increasing thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity.
