AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This patented technology describes methods for preparing porous carbons (C) that contain silanes or dendritic structures called quantum tubules (CNTs). These techniques help control the size and shape of these tiny holes through evaporation processes such as solvent extraction, pyrolytic decomposition, plasma treatment, laser ablation, etc., resulting in highly precise CNT composites made up of small particles dispersed throughout them. By controllably adding different types of atoms into this structure, it becomes possible to create new functionalities like enhanced electrical properties, improved thermal stability, increased charge storage capabilities, and reduced volume changes when making battery components.

Problems solved by technology

This patented technical problem addressed in this patents relates to improving the expandability and electrical conduction properties (electron mobility), while also addressing issues related to decreasing volume changes caused by charging/dischargings cycles. Silane compounds like SiHxSiOy exhibit excellent thermal stability compared to traditional cathodes made up mostly of carbons called graphites. These compositions show improved electron migration rates without compromising capacities. They may even enhance the charge transfer process when used alone instead of adding another type of active ingredient. Additionally, they allow for better control over particle size distribution and increase flexibility in designing different types of cells that use these materials.
