  • FABRICATION OF POROUS ELECTRODES BY FUSION OF SILVER PARTICLES
    Publication number: 20230307604
    Abstract: A method of making an electrode by providing a mixture of first particles of silver or silver oxide and second particles of an inorganic porogen, molding the mixture, cohering the mixture to form a green body, demolding the green body, heating the green body to form a monolith, to convert any silver oxide to silver, and to fuse the first particles together, and submerging the monolith in a liquid that removes the second particles.
    Type: Application
    Filed: June 2, 2023

    Applicant: The Government of the United States of America, as represented by the Secretary of the Navy
    Inventors: Ryan H. DeBlock, Debra R. Rolison, Jeffrey W. Long, Zachary G. Neale
  • Fabrication and fusion of zinc particles in porous electrodes
    Patent number: 11710818
    Abstract: A method of: placing a mixture of zinc particles; water; a water-soluble thickener; and water-insoluble inorganic porogen particles into a mold; evaporating the water to form a monolith; heating the monolith to fuse the zinc particles together; and submerging the monolith in a liquid that removes the porogen particles. A method of: placing a mixture of zinc particles; an aqueous acetic acid solution; and porogen particles into a mold; evaporating water to form a monolith; and submerging the monolith in a liquid that removes the porogen particles.
