  • Mesoporous metal oxide graphene nanocomposite materials
    Patent number: 9346680
    Abstract: A nanocomposite material formed of graphene and a mesoporous metal oxide having a demonstrated specific capacity of more than 200 F/g with particular utility when employed in supercapacitor applications. A method for making these nanocomposite materials by first forming a mixture of graphene, a surfactant, and a metal oxide precursor, precipitating the metal oxide precursor with the surfactant from the mixture to form a mesoporous metal oxide. The mesoporous metal oxide is then deposited onto a surface of the graphene.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 3, 2009
    Date of Patent: May 24, 2016
    Assignee: Battelle Memorial Institute
    Inventors: Jun Liu, Ilhan A. Aksay, Rong Kou, Donghai Wang
  • Self assembled multi-layer nanocomposite of graphene and metal oxide materials
    Patent number: 9017867
    Abstract: Nanocomposite materials having at least two layers, each layer consisting of one metal oxide bonded to at least one graphene layer were developed. The nanocomposite materials will typically have many alternating layers of metal oxides and graphene layers, bonded in a sandwich type construction and will be incorporated into an electrochemical or energy storage device.
