  • Publication number: 20220274040
    Abstract: Provided herein are electret-MOF filter embedded with particles derived from metal-organic frameworks (MOF) and their methods of manufacturing. The methods of manufacturing the electret-MOF filter can include suspending MOF particles in a solvent to form a MOF particle mixture, contacting a charged polymeric fibrous web with the MOF particle mixture, and coating the charged polymeric fibrous web with the MOF particles by flowing the MOF particle mixture through an inverse side of the polymeric fibrous web. The disclosed coating method can deposit MOF particles uniformly, without formation of films at interstitial spaces between fibers. The electret-MOF filter can simultaneously remove fine particulate matters (PMs) and hazardous gaseous pollutants (including volatile organic compounds (VOCs)) with high particle holding and gas adsorption capacities, and with very low air resistance.

  • Publication number: 20210106711
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are embodiments of filtration systems and iron oxide nanowire-based filter meshes that can capture and inactivate pathogens in air. The filter meshes can include a porous lattice of iron metal and iron oxide nanowires radiating from the porous lattice of iron metal. The iron oxide nanowires radiating from the porous lattice of iron metal can be created by processing the filter mesh using the disclosed method. Pathogens can be inactivated by passing a sample containing the pathogens through the filter mesh and inactivating at least a portion of the pathogens as the sample passes through the filter mesh.

  • Patent number: 7480171
    Abstract: The invention discloses a MRAM (Magnetoresistive RAM) based on vertical current writing and its control method, the operation of information writing in the MRAM unit is completed by the corporate effect of the magnetic field generated by the current parallel to the MFC unit and the other current vertical to the MFC unit and passing through this unit. The advantage of such structure is: eliminating a word line (WL) of the prior art especially for information writing, reducing the number of the metal wiring layers and the contact holes, and reducing the complexity of MRAM's structure, and difficulty and cost of manufacturing process.
