  • ELECTROCHEMICAL MODULATION OF THE FLAMMABILITY OF IONIC LIQUID FUELS
    Publication number: 20240279822
    Abstract: A method, a system, and a non-transitory computer-readable medium for controlling flammability of a fuel. The method includes applying a voltage across a nonvolatile ionic liquid to convert the nonvolatile ionic liquid into a flammable liquid; and removing the applied voltage across the nonvolatile ionic liquid to revert the flammable liquid back to the nonvolatile ionic liquid.
    Type: Application

  • GAS-PHASE PRODUCTION OF ALIGNED METAL NANOPARTICLES USING EXTERNAL MAGNETIC FIELDS
    Publication number: 20240157442
    Abstract: A method and system are disclosed of assembling metal particles into nanoparticles. The method includes electromagnetically levitating the metal particles; inductively heating the electromagnetically levitated metal particles beyond their melting point into metal droplets; and wherein an evaporation flux achieved at a surface of the metal droplets result in a supersaturation of metal atoms around the metal droplets leading to nucleation and growth of the nanoparticles.
