  • Cross-phase separation of nanowires and nanoparticles
    Patent number: 9975178
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a process includes creating a mixture of an aqueous component, nanowires and nanoparticles, and a hydrophobic solvent and allowing migration of the nanowires to the hydrophobic solvent, where the nanoparticles remain in the aqueous component. Moreover, the nanowires and nanoparticles are in the aqueous component before the migration.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 15, 2016
    Date of Patent: May 22, 2018
    Assignee: Lawrence Livermore National Security, LLC
    Inventors: Fang Qian, Eric Duoss, Jinkyu Han, Thomas Han, Joshua Kuntz, Pui Ching Lan, Tammy Olson, Christopher Spadaccini, Marcus A. Worsley, Cheng Zhu
