Publication number: 20240116764Abstract: Process for producing fumed silica powder with a decreased silanol group density, comprising subjecting a fumed surface untreated silica powder with a silanol density dSiOH of at least 1.2 SiOH/nm2 and a particle size d90 of not more than 10 ?m, to thermal treatment at a temperature of 350° C. to 1250° C. for 5 min to 5 h, wherein the temperature and the duration of the thermal treatment are chosen so that dSiOH of the silica is decreased by 10%-70% relative to dSiOH of the employed thermally untreated silica, wherein the thermal treatment is carried out while the fumed silica powder is in motion, followed by optional surface treatment. Surface unmodified and modified fumed silica powders obtained by this process and the use thereof.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 19, 2022Publication date: April 11, 2024Applicant: EVONIK OPERATIONS GMBHInventors: Mareike GIESSELER, Frank MENZEL, Alexander LYGIN, Rainer GOLCHERT

Patent number: 11056633Abstract: A method can produce a thermoelectric component or at least a semifinished version of the thermoelectric component. The method includes: a) providing a substantially planar substrate; b) providing a pulverulent thermoelectrically active material; c) pressing the active material to form green bodies; d) inserting green bodies into through-holes of the substrate; e) arranging the substrate with the green bodies inserted therein between two substantially planar electrodes; f) contacting face ends of the green bodies with the electrodes; g) exposing the green bodies to an electric current flowing between the electrodes; h) exposing the green bodies to a pressure force acting between the electrodes; i) sintering the green bodies to form thermolegs; and k) levelling the substrate and the thermolegs accommodated therein by bringing them closer to the electrodes while maintaining the parallelity thereof.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 2017Date of Patent: July 6, 2021Assignee: Evonik Operations GmbHInventors: Sascha Hoch, Magdalena Kern, Patrik Stenner, Jens Busse, Mareike Giesseler, Wolfgang Deis, Zeljko Rajic

Publication number: 20170218494Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a thermoelement for a thermoelectric component, in which method: with the aid of a plasma flame, a diffusion barrier made of nickel is applied to a thermoelectric active material; or, with the aid of a plasma flame, a contact-facilitating layer made of tin is applied to a diffusion barrier made of nickel. The invention also relates to a thermoelectric component comprising thermoelements which are produced correspondingly. The aim of the invention is to further develop the conventional plasma spraying technique such that it can be used to produce thermoelements on an industrial scale. To achieve this aim, nickel particles or tin particles are used, which particles conform to a particular specification with regard to their sphericity.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 29, 2015Publication date: August 3, 2017Applicant: Evonik Degussa GmbHInventors: Jens BUSSE, Sascha HOCH, Magdalena KERN, Mareike GIESSELER, Thorsten SCHULTZ, Patrik STENNER

Patent number: 9553249Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a thermoelectric component or at least one semi-finished product of same, in which a multiplicity of thermolegs made of a thermoelectrically active material are introduced into an essentially planar substrate made of an electrically and thermally insulating substrate material such that the thermolegs extend through the substrate essentially perpendicular to the substrate plane, and in which the active material is provided in pulverulent form, is pressed to give green bodies and is then sintered within the substrate to give thermolegs. It is based on the object of refining the method of the generic type mentioned in the introduction so as to increase the freedom of choice of the thermally and electrically insulating substrate material.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2014Date of Patent: January 24, 2017Assignee: Evonik Degussa GmbHInventors: Jens Busse, Sascha Hoch, Magdalena Kern, Mareike Giesseler, Thorsten Schultz, Patrik Stenner, Paw V.

Patent number: 9530952Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a thermoelectric component or at least a semifinished version thereof, in which at least one thermoelectric active material in dry powder form is introduced into at least some of the holes of a perforated template. It addresses the problem of specifying a method which can be conducted in a particularly economically viable manner. The problem is solved by virtue of the active material remaining in the holes of the template, and the template filled with active material becoming a constituent of the thermoelectric component produced.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2013Date of Patent: December 27, 2016Assignee: Evonik Industries AGInventors: Patrik Stenner, Mareike Giesseler, Thorsten Schultz, Sascha Hoch, Jens Busse, Ann-Kathrin Herr, Rüdiger Schütte
