HIERARCHICAL NANOSTRUCTURED SILICON-BASED ANODES FOR USE IN A LITHIUM-ION BATTERY

Inventeur(s)
Jana, Malay
Singh, Raj N.
Abrégé
The conventional Li-ion batteries use graphite anode, which has a theoretical specific capacity of 372 mAh/g, which limits their application for high capacity energy storage devices. Silicon has been tried because of its high theoretical specific capacity (4200 mAh/g) but the stress created due to volume expansion during intercalation of Li causes fracture and hence electrical isolation between particles and current collector leading to capacity loss. The present invention demonstrates the design of metallurgical grade polycrystalline silicon anode to achieve high reversible capacity (−1000 mAh/g) with high coulombic efficiency (99.6%), and low cost.

Abrégé
This disclosure relates generally to the facile and selective mono-perfluoro and poly-fluoroarylation of Meldrum's acid to generate a versatile synthon for highly fluorinated alpha-phenyl acetic acid derivatives which provide straightforward access to fluorinated building blocks. The reaction takes place quickly and all products were isolated without the need for chromatography. An embodiment provides an alternative strategy to access alpha-arylated Meldrum's acids which avoids the need for aryl-Pb(IV) salts or diaryliodonium salts and provides access to the tertiary product which was not previously synthetically accessible. The synthetic versatility and utility of the Meldrum's acid products is demonstrated by subjecting the products to several derivatizations of the Meldrum's acid products as well as photocatalytic hydrodefluorination which provide access to difficult but valuable synthetic targets such as multifluorinated aromatics.

Abrégé
The conventional Li-ion batteries use graphite anode, which has a theoretical specific capacity of 372 mAh/g, which limits their application for high capacity energy storage devices. Silicon has been tried because of its high theoretical specific capacity (4200 mAh/g) but the stress created due to volume expansion during intercalation of Li causes fracture and hence electrical isolation between particles and current collector leading to capacity loss. The present invention demonstrates the design of metallurgical grade polycrystalline silicon anode to achieve high reversible capacity (-1000 mAh/g) with high coulombic efficiency (99.6%), and low cost.

This disclosure relates generally to enabling a user to (1) determine the radial stiffness of the outer surface of a winding or wound roll, and (2) when coupled with a winding/contact model results in a virtual instrument allowing the user to explore the residual stresses due to winding in roll-to-roll manufacturing process machines, and (3) allows the user to predict winding defects and hence roll quality based upon the known residual stresses. Wound roll models require the input of a radial modulus of elasticity which is state dependent on interlayer pressure. The hardware of the disclosure can be used to determine this radial modulus and serves to enable the user to (1) use winding/contact models and (2) with measurements made during or after winding enable the user to estimate the winding residual stresses.

Abrégé
A method is herein presented to statistically combine multiple seismic attributes for generating a map of the spatial density of fractures. According to an embodiment a first step involves interpreting the formation of interest in 3D seismic volume first to create its time structure map. The second step is creating depth structure of the formation of interest from its time structure map. In this application geostatistical methods have been used for depth conversional, although other methods could be used instead. The third step is extraction of a number of attributes, such as phase, frequency and amplitudes, from the time structure map. The next step is to project the fracture density onto the top of the target formation. The final step is to combine these attributes using a statistical method known as Multi-variant non-linear regression to predict fracture density.

There are provided herein novel catalytic approaches of producing deoxygenated bio-oil in fast pyrolysis reaction conditions. In one embodiment, HZSM-5 zeolite was modified by loading bimetallic catalyst compounds, resulting in new catalysts including MoAg/HZSM-5 and MoZn/HZSM-5. Both catalysts showed higher reactivity towards methane activation than molybdenum-only loaded catalysts. MoAg/HZSM-5 tended to catalyze dealkylation of alkylated benzenes thus yielded a product with high selectivity towards benzene. A dramatic increase in the yield of aromatic hydrocarbons was noticed when MoZn/HZSM-5 was used for catalysis of switchgrass under methane atmosphere. The final liquid hydrocarbons targeted according to this embodiment are benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylene, naphthalene (BTEXN).

An embodiment is developed for a cylindrically shaped, elliptical rolling robot that has the ability to morph its outer surface as it rolls. The morphing actuation alters lengths of the major and minor axes, resulting in a torque imbalance that rolls the robot along faster or brakes its motion. A control scheme is implemented, whereby angular position and horizontal velocity are used as feedback to trigger and define morphing actuation. A goal of the control scheme is to cause the robot to follow a given velocity profile comprised of steps and ramps. Equations of motion for the rolling robot are formulated, which include rolling resistance torque caused by deformation of the outer surface tread. A computer program solves the equations of motion, and resulting plots show that by automatically morphing its shape in a periodic fashion, the rolling robot is able to commence from an initial position, achieve constant average velocity and slow itself.

Abrégé
There is provided a method for correcting "pixel bleeding" caused by slow luminescence centers in laser scanning imaging (e.g., X-ray imaging using photostimulable phosphors and 2D dosimetry using optically stimulated luminescence). An embodiment uses a deconvolution procedure that takes into account the lifetime of the slow luminescence center and can be further constrained by the detection of fast and slow luminescence centers and combining line scans in opposite directions. An approach has been tested using simulated data and demonstrated experimentally by applying it to image reconstruction of two types of Al2O3 X-ray detector films (Al2O3:C and Al2O3:C,Mg), whose use in 2D dosimetry in conjunction with laser-scanning readout has so far been prevented by slow luminescence centers (35 ms lifetime from F-centers). We show that the algorithm allows the imaging using Al2O3 detectors 300 times faster than generally allowed considering the lifetime of the main luminescence centers.

The present invention includes the efficient dispersion and high loading of fillers in a thermoplastic polymer matrix. In a first general embodiment, the present invention includes a method wherein fillers are first synthesized and dispersed in a liquid monomer. The liquid monomer is then polymerized to a solid. The nanofillers may be silver nanoparticle/nanowire fillers. Ethylene glycol may serve as a solvent, reducing agent as well as precursor monomer for polymerization. In a second general embodiment, the present invention includes a method wherein fillers may be separately synthesized (or obtained commercially) and then added and dispersed in a liquid monomer. The liquid monomer is then polymerized to a solid. In a third general embodiment, a composite is synthesized using interfacial polycondensation. This is accomplished by aggressive mixing of two solvents during the reaction. The aggressive mixing forms microdroplets (i.e., emulsion) and hence dramatically increases the interface area thereby to a much faster polymerization rate.

A method is herein presented to statistically combine multiple seismic attributes for generating a map of the spatial density of fractures. According to an embodiment a first step involves interpreting the formation of interest in 3D seismic volume first to create its time structure map. The second step is creating depth structure of the formation of interest from its time structure map. In this application geostatistical methods have been used for depth conversional, athough other methods could be used instead. The third step is extraction of a number of attributes, such as phase, frequency and amplitudes, from the time structure map. The next step is to project the fracture density onto the top of the target formation. The final step is to combine these attributes using a statistical method known as Multi-variant non-linear regression to predict fracture density.

Salmonella enteric serotype Typhimurium is a causative agent for gastroenteritis. It is the leading cause of hospitalization and death caused by a food-borne pathogen in the US. As is the case with many gram- negative pathogens, Salmonella spp. use type III secretion systems (T3SS) to deliver proteins to host cells to induce infections. The T3SS uses a molecular syringe and needle, the type III secretion apparatus (T3SA), as a conduit for the transport of the T3SS proteins from the bacteria to the host. Because proteins associated with the tip of the T3SA are extracellular, they are potential protective subunit vaccine candidates against Salmonella. These pathogens also have a T3SS that is involved with intracellular escape from the vacuole with an associated T3SA. Within this invention, we begin to show proof of concept that these proteins are protective.
