  • Copper nanoparticle-titania composite nanoarchitectures
    Patent number: 11027258
    Abstract: A composition having: titania aerogel having titania nanoparticles and copper nanoparticles. Each of the copper nanoparticles is in contact with more than one of the titania nanoparticles. A method of: providing a titania aerogel, and forming or depositing copper nanoparticles onto the surface of the titania aerogel.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 29, 2017
    Date of Patent: June 8, 2021
    Assignee: The Government of the United States of America, as represented by the Secretary of the Navy
    Inventors: Jeremy J. Pietron, Paul A. Desario, Debra R. Rolison, Todd H. Brintlinger, Rhonda Michele Stroud
  • Method for preparing clean insulating single or few sheets of topological insulators using an ionic liquid
    Patent number: 10640377
    Abstract: A method to produce high quality single or a few atomic layers thick samples of a topological insulating layered dichalcogenide. The overall process involves grinding layered dichalcogenides, adding them to an ionic liquid, and then using a mechanical method to cause intercalation of the ionic liquid into the van der Waals (VDW) gap between the layers of the metal chalcogenide.
