  • Methods of Using N-Containing Compounds with Carbon Black to Replace Pan and Form Carbon Fibers
    Publication number: 20210395531
    Abstract: A method and precursor for making carbon fibers and the like comprising carbon black modified with at least one cyclic compound promoter. A source of the carbon black may be recycled materials such as recycled tires or recycled plastics. The carbon black is modified by attaching at least one cyclic compound promoter to the outer periphery of the carbon black.

  • Metal phosphide nanomaterials prepared from single source metal amides
    Patent number: 10836638
    Abstract: The present invention provides a novel solution or route for metal phosphide (MPx) nanomaterials from the thermal decomposition of metal bis[bis(diisopropylphosphino)amide], M[N(PPri2)2]2, and/or single-source precursors. Synthetic routes to MPx nanomaterials may be used in energy applications including batteries, semiconductors, magnets, catalyst, lasers, inks, electrocatalysts and photodiodes.
