  • Publication number: 20240133071
    Abstract: An electrodeposition process for electrodeposition of a metal on a metal part (1), includes the connection of the metal part (1) to be treated to a first electrical pole of a current generator and a second pole opposite the first pole connected to the electrolytic medium through an electrode (3), and includes relative movement of the metal part (1) in relation to a set of free solid particles (4) that retain a conductive solution. The solution includes metal cations of the metal to be deposited charged with a positive electrical charge in a non-conductive environment (5) that causes the reduction of the metal cations of the conductive solution on the surface of the metal part to be treated (1). An electrolytic medium for electrodeposition of a metal on a metal part (1) is also provided.

  • Publication number: 20230250313
    Abstract: A self-disinfecting coating (1) for surfaces: is provided that includes a base matrix (2) and a loading solution (3), the matrix (2) in turn includes a gel base (10) and a gel fluid (7), and the loading solution (3) comprises an active disinfectant ingredient (4), in such a way that the base matrix (2) is able to absorb and retain the active ingredient (4) while maintaining, on the free surface of the coating (1), a sufficient concentration of active ingredient (4), thus maintaining the surface disinfected. The gel base (10) may include a protein of collagen, albumin or elastin and glycerine as the plasticising agent (6). The loading solution (3) may include elemental iodine as an active ingredient (4) and ethanol as the loading solvent (8). The self-disinfecting coating (1) may include a base substrate (11) that includes therein the base matrix (2) and loading solution (3).

  • Patent number: 11664532
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a solid-state battery, particularly a lithium-ion solid-state battery, composed of one or more battery cells, which have an ion-conducting solid matrix (2) as solid electrolyte, which matrix is embedded between two electrodes (1, 3). The proposed solid-state battery is characterized in that the solid matrix (2) is formed form camphor, 2-adamantanone or a mixture of one of the two with one or more other substances. Owing to the use of camphor or 2-adamantanone, the solid electrolyte is mechanically stable and has good ionic conductivity in a wide temperature range.

  • Publication number: 20220372648
    Abstract: Formulations and methods for the electropolishing of metals. The formulations include a solid electrolyte having a type of active particles of resin of ionic exchange charged with an acid solution that generate a chemical activity and an electric activity, and at least a type of moderating particles of the chemical action of the active particles and/or moderating particles of the electric conductivity of the active particles, so that the moderating particles reduce the attacks localized on the surface of the polished part provoked by the exudates of the active particles.

  • Publication number: 20220364256
    Abstract: An assembly for electropolishing metal surfaces by means of particles of solid electrolytes in a gaseous environment. According to one embodiment the assembly includes a container and a housing element configured to house at least two metal parts, so as to contain the parts avoiding that they can go out during the electropolish process and at the same time allowing that they can have a given movement within the housing element and at the same time endow them with electrical connectivity by means of a first electrode and a second electrode that are coupled to an electrical source 3. The assembly also includes means to produce a relative movement between the particles of solid electrolytes and the at least two metal parts.

  • Publication number: 20220177730
    Abstract: Use of dry electrolytes to polish metal surfaces through ion transport. A conductive liquid of the dry electrolyte includes at least a sulfonic acid. According to one embodiment, the porous particles of the dry electrolyte include sulfonate polymer, such as, polystyrene divinylbenzene. According to one embodiment, the conductive liquid of the dry electrolyte includes methane-sulfonic acid. Preferably, the concentration of the sulfonic acid in relation to the solvent is ranging from 1 to 70%. Optionally, the conductive liquid of the dry electrolyte includes a complexing agent and/or a chelating agent.

  • Publication number: 20220161382
    Abstract: Methods and devices for treatment of metal surfaces by means of electrically active solid particles that include a step of contact of the solid particles with the electrode of an electric source, a step of shooting the particles towards the metal surface to be treated and a step of transmission of electric charge of the particles on the metal surface to be treated. The transmission of the electricity between the electric source and the metal surface during the step of shooting preferably is by net charge of the particles or by electric conductivity by contact or by electric conductivity by means of voltaic arches. The current applied to the electrode is preferably a DC or a current that contains positive sections and negative sections.
