Tea Gon Kim 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).

  • Composite conductive material having excellent dispersibility, slurry for forming lithium secondary battery electrode using the same, and lithium secondary battery
    Patent number: 11837376
    Abstract: A method for producing a composite conductive material having excellent dispersibility is provided. The method includes supporting a catalyst on surfaces of carbon particles; heat treating the catalyst in a helium or hydrogen atmosphere such that the catalyst penetrate the surfaces of the carbon particles and are impregnated beneath the surfaces of the carbon particles at a contact point between the carbon particles and the impregnated catalyst; and heating the carbon particles having the impregnated catalyst disposed therein in the presence of a source gas to grow carbon nanofibers from the impregnated catalyst to form a composite conductive material, wherein the source gas contains a carbon source, and wherein the carbon nanofibers extend from the contact point to above the surfaces of the carbon particles.
    Type: Grant
