Abstract

Provided herein are charge generating devices and methods of making and use thereof. The charge generating devices comprise a substrate having a top surface; a plurality of spaced-apart three-dimensional elements disposed on the top surface of the substrate; and a plurality of cavities formed by the plurality of spaced-apart three-dimensional elements, the plurality of cavities being the area between the plurality of spaced-apart three-dimensional elements. The charge generating devices can further comprise a radioactive layer disposed on at least a portion of the plurality of spaced-apart three-dimensional elements and the top surface such that the plurality of cavities and the top surface are substantially coated by the radioactive layer. In some examples, the charge generating devices can comprise a radiation material and/or a scintillating material disposed within at least a portion of the plurality of cavities.

Geobacter strains that use alternate organic compounds, methods of making, and methods of use thereof

Patent Lovley, Derek R.; Summers, Zarath Morgan; Haveman, Shelley Annette; ...

In preferred embodiments, the present invention provides new isolated strains of a Geobacter species that are capable of using a carbon source that is selected from C.sub.3 to C.sub.12 organic compounds selected from pyruvate or metabolic precursors of pyruvate as an electron donor in metabolism and in subsequent energy production. The wild type strain of the microorganisms has been shown to be unable to use these C.sub.3 to C.sub.12 organic compounds as electron donors. The inventive strains of microorganisms are useful for improving bioremediation applications, including in situ bioremediation (including uranium bioremediation and halogenated solvent bioremediation), microbial fuel cells, powermore » « less

Metal oxide-organic hybrid materials for heterogeneous catalysis and methods of making and using thereof

Patent Bloomfield, Aaron J.; Sheehan, Stafford W.; Collom, Samuel L.; ...

Catalysts prepared from abundant, cost effective metals, such as cobalt, nickel, chromium, manganese, iron, and copper, and containing one or more neutrally charged ligands (e.g., monodentate, bidentate, and/or polydentate ligands) and methods of making and using thereof are described herein. Exemplary ligands include, but are not limited to, phosphine ligands, nitrogen-based ligands, sulfur-based ligands, and/or arsenic-based ligands. In some embodiments, the catalyst is a cobalt-based catalyst or a nickel-based catalyst. The catalysts described herein are stable and active at neutral pH and in a wide range of buffers that are both weak and strong proton acceptors. While its activity ismore » « less

Ionomers and methods of making same and uses thereof

Patent Coates, Geoffrey W.; Kostalik, IV, Henry A.; Clark, Timothy J.; ...

Ionomers comprising ionic groups such as, for example, tetraalkylammonium groups and methods of making such ionomers. For example, the ionomers can be produced by ring opening metathesis polymerization of alkene-containing monomers with tetraalkylammonium groups and, optionally, alkene-containing monomers without tetraalkylammonium groups. The ionomers can be used in applications such as, for example, fuel cell applications.
