Abstract

Aerogels or xerogels containing atomically dispersed noble metals for applications such environmental remediation. New noble metal precursors, such as Pt--Si or Pd(Si--P).sub.2, have been created to bridge the incompatibility between noble metals and oxygen, followed by their incorporation into the aerogel or xerogel through sol-gel chemistry and processing. Applications include oxidation of hydrocarbons and reduction of nitrogen oxide species, complete oxidation of volatile organic carbon species, oxidative membranes for photocatalysis and partial oxidation for synthetic applications.

Incorporation of noble metals into aerogels

Patent Hair, L.M.; Sanner, R.D.; Coronado, P.R.

Aerogels or xerogels containing atomically dispersed noble metals for applications such as environmental remediation are disclosed. New noble metal precursors, such as Pt--Si or Pd(Si--P){sub 2}, have been created to bridge the incompatibility between noble metals and oxygen, followed by their incorporation into the aerogel or xerogel through sol-gel chemistry and processing. Applications include oxidation of hydrocarbons and reduction of nitrogen oxide species, complete oxidation of volatile organic carbon species, oxidative membranes for photocatalysis and partial oxidation for synthetic applications.
Ion beam modification of noble metals for electrical contacts

Patent Hattar, Khalid Mikhiel; Mogonye, Jon-Erik; Prasad, Somuri V.

Ion beam modification of noble metal electrical contact coatings can achieve suitable friction and wear behavior with inherently stable low ECR. For example, this method of producing Au electrical contact coatings can produce wear properties similar to electroplated hard Au, but without the environmental concerns due to stringent OSHA regulations on the use and disposal of toxic chemicals associated with Au electroplating baths. Integration of physical vapor deposition techniques with ion implantation can produce noble metal coatings with surfaces modified to achieve the desired balance between adhesion/friction/wear and electrical contact resistance on a commercial scale.

Solid polymer electrolyte composite membrane comprising a porous support and a solid polymer electrolyte including a dispersed reduced noble metal or noble metal oxide

Patent Liu, Han; Mittelsteadt, Cortney K; Norman, Timothy J; ...

A solid polymer electrolyte composite membrane and method of manufacturing the same. According to one embodiment, the composite membrane comprises a thin, rigid, dimensionally-stable, non-electrically-conducting support, the support having a plurality of cylindrical, straight-through pores extending perpendicularly between opposing top and bottom surfaces of the support. The pores are unevenly distributed, with some or no pores located along the periphery and more pores located centrally. The pores are completely filled with a solid polymer electrolyte, the solid polymer electrolyte including a dispersed reduced noble metal or noble metal oxide. The solid polymer electrolyte may also be deposited over the topmore » and/or bottom surfaces of the support.« less

Platinum-coated non-noble metal-noble metal core-shell electrocatalysts

Patent Adzic, Radoslav; Zhang, Junliang; Mo, Yibo; ...

Core-shell particles encapsulated by a thin film of a catalytically active metal are described. The particles are preferably nanoparticles comprising a non-noble core with a noble metal shell which preferably do not include Pt. The non-noble metal-noble metal core-shell nanoparticles are encapsulated by a catalytically active metal which is preferably Pt. The core-shell nanoparticles are preferably formed by prolonged elevated-temperature annealing of nanoparticle alloys in an inert environment. This causes the noble metal component to surface segregate and form an atomically thin shell. The Pt overlayer is formed by a process involving the underpotential deposition of a monolayer of amore »« less

Low density, resorcinol-formaldehyde aerogels

Patent Pekala, Richard W. (Pleasant Hill, CA)

The polycondensation of resorcinol with formaldehyde under alkaline conditions results in the formation of surface functionalized polymer "clusters". The covalent crosslinking of these "clusters" produces gels which when processed under supercritical conditions, produce low density, organic aerogels (density .ltoreq.100 mg/cc; cell size .ltoreq.0.1 microns). The aerogels are transparent, dark red in color and consist of interconnected colloidal-like particles with diameters of about 100 .ANG.. These aerogels may be further carbonized to form low density carbon foams with cell size of about 0.1 micron.
