Patents by Inventor Pinwen Guan

Pinwen Guan 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).

  • ELECTROCHEMICAL MATERIALS INCLUDING SOLID AND LIQUID PHASES
    Publication number: 20240274806
    Abstract: Electrochemical devices, and associated materials and methods, are generally described. In some embodiments, an electrochemical device comprises an electroactive material. The electroactive material may comprise an alloy having a solid phase and a liquid phase that co-exist with each other. As a result, such a composite electrode may have, in some cases, the mechanical softness to permit both high energy densities and an improved current density as compared to, for example, a substantially pure metal electrode.
    Type: Application
    Filed: January 11, 2024
    Publication date: August 15, 2024
    Applicants: Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Carnegie Mellon University
    Inventors: Yet-Ming Chiang, Richard Park, Venkatasubramanian Viswanathan, Shashank Sripad, Zijian Hong, Pinwen Guan
