Publication number: 20240131490Abstract: The invention generally relates to systems and methods for increasing reaction yield. In certain embodiments, the invention provides systems for increasing a yield of a chemical reaction that include a pneumatic sprayer configured to generate a liquid spray discharge from a solvent. The solvent includes a plurality of molecules, a portion of which react with each other within the liquid spray discharge to form a reaction product. The system also includes a collector positioned to receive the liquid spray discharge including the unreacted molecules and the reaction product. The system also includes a recirculation loop connected from the collector to the pneumatic sprayer in order to allow the unreacted molecules and the reaction product to be recycled through the pneumatic sprayer, thereby allowing a plurality of the unreacted molecules to react with each other as the unreacted molecules cycle again through the system.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 15, 2023Publication date: April 25, 2024Inventors: Robert Graham Cooks, Michael Stanley Wleklinski, David Logsdon

Patent number: 10714323Abstract: The invention generally relates to zero volt mass spectrometry probes and systems. In certain embodiments, the invention provides a system including a mass spectrometry probe including a porous material, and a mass spectrometer (bench-top or miniature mass spectrometer). The system operates without an application of voltage to the probe. In certain embodiments, the probe is oriented such that a distal end faces an inlet of the mass spectrometer. In other embodiments, the distal end of the probe is 5 mm or less from an inlet of the mass spectrometer.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2019Date of Patent: July 14, 2020Assignee: Purdue Research FoundationInventors: Robert Graham Cooks, Michael Stanley Wleklinski, Soumabha Bag, Yafeng Li

Patent number: 10113242Abstract: The invention generally relates to systems and methods for producing metal clusters; functionalized surfaces; and droplets including solvated metal ions. In certain aspects, the invention provides methods that involve providing a metal and a solvent. The methods additionally involve applying voltage to the solvated metal to thereby produce solvent droplets including ions of the metal containing compound, and directing the solvent droplets including the metal ions to a target. In certain embodiments, once at the target, the metal ions can react directly or catalyze reactions.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 2017Date of Patent: October 30, 2018Assignee: Purdue Research FoundationInventors: Robert Graham Cooks, Michael Stanley Wleklinski, Thalappil Pradeep, Depanjan Sarkar
