Abstract: A solid-state battery, preferably a pouch cell, includes a cathode including cathode active material comprising Li ions, graphene, and optionally a binder; an electrolyte; and an anode, preferably a lithium anode, wherein said electrolyte is positioned in between said cathode and said anode.

Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus for preparing a composite, the apparatus comprising: a first container containing a resin; a second container containing a hardener, wherein at least one of the first or second container contains nanoparticles; a metering unit arranged to receive the resin from the first container and the hardener from the second container and configured to output a treating mixture, wherein the metering unit controls a ratio of the resin and the hardener in the treating mixture; and a treatment device arranged to receive a filament and the treating mixture, and treat the filament with the treating mixture to produce the composite.

Abstract: An electrical insulating flange gasket has an electrode on the internal diameter of the gasket, and a test point on the external diameter of the gasket, for the purpose of measuring internal current transfer.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method of converting a carbon material to graphene, the method comprising the step of subjecting an amorphous carbon material pellet submerged in a molten inorganic material that comprises an alkaline earth halide to an electrochemical reaction in an inert atmosphere for a period of time, wherein the amorphous carbon material pellet is converted to a graphene pellet comprising graphene flakes by said reaction.

Abstract: This invention relates to membranes of two dimensional material and their uses in filtration. The membranes may include polyaromatic molecules which provide a improvement in the rejection observed for small solutes. The two dimensional material may be a transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) or hexagonal boron nitride (hBN).
