A capacitance value of 2200 F g | 01-14-2010 |
| 20100210453 | Preparation Of Nanostructured Metals And Metal Compounds And Their Uses - A method for the preparation of materials comprises the steps of: a) taking a first material comprising a compound of a first metal or of a first metal alloy, b) inserting said first material into an electrochemical cell as a first electrode, the electrochemical cell including a second electrode including a second metal different from a metal incorporated in the first material and an electrolyte adapted to transport the second metal to the first electrode and insert it into the first material by a current flowing in an external circuit resulting in the formation of a compound of the second metal in the first electrode material, the method being characterized by the step of treating the first electrode material after formation of the compound of the second metal to chemically remove at least some of the compound of the second metal to leave a material with a nanoporous structure. | 08-19-2010 |
| 20100239916 | NON-AQUEOUS ELECTROLYTE AND A BATTERY, A SUPERCAPACITOR, AN ELECTROCHROMIC DEVICE AND A SOLAR CELL INCLUDING SUCH AN ELECTROLYTE - A non-aqueous electrolyte including at least one ionically conducting salt, especially a lithium salt, a non-aqueous, anhydrous solvent for the ionically conductive salt, and at least one oxide in a particulate form, said oxide being selected such that it is not soluble in said solvent and such that it is water-free. The electrolyte can be used in a primary or secondary lithium battery, in a supercapacitor, in an electro-chromic display or in a solar cell. | 09-23-2010 |
| 20100285354 | ASSEMBLY OF NANOTUBE ENCAPSULATED NANOFIBERS NANOSTRUCTURE MATERIALS - CNT encapsulated carbon nanofibers (CNFs @ CNTs) having a one-dimensional structure are provided by selective assembling CNFs inside the channel of CNTs via impregnation of catalyst inside CNTs and subsequent chemical vapour deposition of hydrocarbon. The new structure is used as material for energy storage. | 11-11-2010 |
| 20110151340 | NON-AQUEOUS ELECTROLYTE CONTAINING AS A SOLVENT A BORATE ESTER AND/OR AN ALUMINATE ESTER - A non-aqueous electrolyte includes: at least one ionically conducting salt, a non-aqueous, anhydrous solvent for the ionically conductive salt, said solvent being selected to achieve a lithium transference number between 0.45 and 1.0, at least one oxide in a particulate form, said oxide being selected such that it is not soluble in said solvent and such that it is water-free. | 06-23-2011 |
