  • Nitride and carbide anode materials
    Patent number: 8426061
    Abstract: Described is an anode material which is a transition metal nitride or carbide in form of nanoparticles, preferably a nitride or carbide with one nitrogen or carbon per metal, and especially a nitride or carbide having rock salt structure. A preferred anode material is vanadium nitride, in particular carbon coated vanadium nitride having a mean particle size of <500 nm. Embedded in an electrically conducting environment, such nanoparticulate material, in particular the vanadium nitride shows exceptional good charging-discharging cycle stability.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 11, 2010
    Date of Patent: April 23, 2013
    Assignee: Belenos Clean Power Holding AG
    Inventors: Reinhard Nesper, Dipan Kundu, Rahul Fotedar, Michael Woerle, Helmer Fjellvag
  • Method for producing a superconducting material made of MgB
    Patent number: 7863221
    Abstract: For producing the superconducting material MgB2, a shapeable master alloy containing Mg and B, as well as at least one additional constituent, an LiMgB alloy is.1 The process permits the production of shaped elements of MgB2, for example by forging, casting, drawing, etc.
