  • SILICON/GRAPHENE COMPOSITE ANODE MATERIAL AND METHOD TO MANUFACTURE THE SAME
    Publication number: 20220115646
    Abstract: Processes and materials are provided for use in Si-based anodes that can improve or extend the cycle life of a battery while also lowering production costs. A composite material design is provided as a porous silicon-graphene-carbon (SiGC) composite particle that is a composed of submicron silicon wrapped with graphene, particulate, flexible conductive additives, and an outer conductive shell or coating made for the purpose of acting as anode material in an electrochemical cell (battery).

  • FLEXIBLE COMPOSITES CONTAINING GRAPHITE AND FILLERS
    Publication number: 20170051192
    Abstract: Resin-free, flexible composites of graphite leaf, containing fillers other than natural graphite, which has higher thermal conductivity than conventional 100% natural graphite based graphite sheet/foil/paper, and methods of preparing such flexible composites. In a second embodiment, there is a thermal management system comprising at least one flexible composite as set forth just above, wherein a graphite surface of a flexible composite is in thermal contact with a heat source of a heat generating device.
