  • High energy density ionic dielectric materials and devices
    Patent number: 8906818
    Abstract: Dielectric compositions that include compound of the formula [(M?)1?x(A?)x][(M?)1?y?z,(B?)y(C?)z]O3??(VO)? and protonated dielectric compositions that include a protonated dielectric compound within the formula [(M?)1?x(A?)x](M?)1?y?z(B?)y(C?)z]O3??+h(Vo)?(H•)2h are disclosed. Composite materials that employ one or more of these dielectric compounds together with an electrolyte also are disclosed. Composite material that employs one or more of these dielectric compounds together with an electrochemally active material also are disclosed.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 7, 2010
    Date of Patent: December 9, 2014
    Assignees: Recapping, Inc., Penn State Research Foundation
    Inventors: Clive A. Randall, Leslie E. Cross, Aram Yang, Niall J. Donnelly, Ramakrishnan Rajagopalan, Amanda Lou Baker
  • Hybrid Electrochemical Energy Storage Devices
    Publication number: 20140050947
    Abstract: Electrochemical energy devices such as batteries, flow cells and EDLCs that employ redox active electrolytes are disclosed. Redox active electrolytes for use in these devices also are disclosed that includes one or more redox active salts and optional additive salts. Electrochemical energy devices such as batteries, flow cells and EDLCs that employ the disclosed electrolytes may exchange more than one electron per redox species and may achieve much higher energy densities.
