Sardar ALI has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Metal-silica nanocomposites prepared through a single step solution combustion synthesis (SCS)
    Patent number: 11951457
    Abstract: Provided herein is a novel silica-supported nickel nanocomposite and a novel one-pot solution combustion synthesis of that nanocomposite. The method allows the synthesis of small size nickel nanoparticles (e.g., 3 nm to 40 nm) for which a considerable percentage of nickel is inserted into silica, experiencing strong metal-support interaction. These exceptional physicochemical properties make them desirable for various industrial applications, such as electronic, heterogeneous catalysis as well as conversion and storage of energy.
    Type: Grant

  • Active and stable copper-based catalyst for COhydrogenation to methanol
    Patent number: 11878287
    Abstract: This invention relates to development of novel Cu-based nanocatalysts synthesized via one-pot solution combustion synthesis for CO2 hydrogenation to methanol. The novel Cu-based catalyst has exceptional activity for CO2 hydrogenation with high methanol selectivity in the reaction temperature range between 250° C.-350° C. The novel catalyst also exhibits excellent resilience to deactivation due to sintering.
