  • Synthesis of carbon nitrides from carbon dioxide
    Patent number: 8632743
    Abstract: Provided are methods of converting carbon dioxide to carbon nitrides. In a first reaction, carbon dioxide may be reacted with metal nitrides, such as Li3N, to form carbon nitrides in a fast and exothermic reaction. Also provided are methods of using product metal cyanamides from the first reaction to subsequently generate additional carbon nitrides.
    Type: Grant

  • Method for producing a reversible hydrogen storage medium with high storage capacity and ultrafast kinetics
    Publication number: 20070148076
    Abstract: A method is provided for the preparation of a hydrogen storage medium having a high hydrogen storage capacity, high reversibility and fast reaction time. A high storage capacity Li2NH -containing media with high reversibility is also provided. The method comprises an ultra-fast solid reaction between Li3N and LiNH2 to provide an effective Li2NH material, which can reversibly store 6.8 wt % hydrogen with fast kinetics and excellent stability.
