Paul Maggard has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Perovskite materials and methods of making and use thereof
    Patent number: 11819702
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are perovskite materials and methods of making an use thereof.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 4, 2021
    Date of Patent: November 21, 2023
    Assignee: NORTH CAROLINA STATE UNIVERSITY
    Inventors: Paul A. Maggard, Jr., Shaun O'Donnell, Jacob L. Jones
  • Aluminum oxide aerogels and methods of making and use thereof
    Patent number: 11472713
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are aluminum oxide aerogels and methods of making and use thereof. The methods of making the aluminum oxide aerogel include contacting a solid comprising aluminum with a Ga-based liquid alloy to dissolve at least a portion of the aluminum from the solid, thereby forming an aluminum-alloy mixture; and contacting the aluminum-alloy mixture with a fluid comprising water, thereby forming the aluminum oxide aerogel. In some examples, the methods can further comprise capturing and converting carbon dioxide to a syngas comprising carbon monoxide and hydrogen.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 3, 2018

  • Solar photocatalysis using transition-metal oxides combining dand delectron configurations
    Patent number: 7763149
    Abstract: A method of carrying out a catalytic reaction with a catalytic reaction system comprising octahedral-based structures, such as a solid-solution or an ordered layered material, with specific early and late transition metals are described. A late transition metal is included in the solids so that a greater amount of solar energy can be absorbed by the catalytic reaction system and the solar efficiency of the method is increased. Catalytic compounds and compositions for carrying out the method are also described.
