  • Monolithic flexible supercapacitors, methods of making and uses thereof
    Patent number: 11017958
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods for fabricating supercapacitors (SCs) via vapor printing, specifically oxidative chemical vapor deposition (oCVD). Also disclosed are methods of using the supercapacitors, in particular for energy storage devices and photovoltaics.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 7, 2018
    Date of Patent: May 25, 2021
    Assignee: Massachusetts Institute of Technology
    Inventors: Andong Liu, Karen K. Gleason, Peter Kovacik
  • Ultrathin, conductive and fouling-resistant zwitterionic polymer films
    Patent number: 10898861
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods of preparing antifouling coatings on reverse osmosis membranes with initiated vapor deposition or oxidative vapor deposition. The coatings enhance the stability and lifetime of membranes without sacrificing performance characteristics, such as permeability or salt retention.
    Type: Grant
