  • Method of producing glassy carbon containing metal particles
    Patent number: 5645809
    Abstract: A method of producing glassy carbon containing metal particles includes two steps. The first step is providing a metal complexed to a molecule which can cross-link to form glassy carbon. The molecule is heated so that the molecule cross-links to form glassy carbon containing metal particles. The glassy carbon can be incorporated into an electrode for use in an electrochemical cell.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 18, 1995
    Date of Patent: July 8, 1997
    Assignee: Ohio State University
    Inventors: Matthew R. Callstrom, Richard L. McCreery
  • Glassy carbon containing metal particles and its use on an electrode in an electrochemical cell where the particles are less than 10 nm
    Patent number: 5453169
    Abstract: Glassy carbons including a dispersion of metal particles having a small particle size, their synthesis, and their use in electrochemical cells are described.

  • Method and apparatus for the analysis of solution adjacent an electrode
    Patent number: 4395312
    Abstract: Electrochemically generated chromophores are measured by passing a beam of electromagnetic radiation parallel and close to the surface of the electrode at which they are being generated, and collecting the diffracted radiation. The response is so rapid (.about.0.025 sec.) that modulation is practicable and the path length, which is set by the thickness of the electrode, is much greater than in optically transparent electrodes, thus rendering the method very sensitive to weak chromophores or low concentrations.
