Latest Patents

Saccone’s listed patent is titled “Cow Hair-Based Porous Biochar, Synthesis Process for Obtaining Said Biochar, Cow Hair-Based Composite Active Material, Positive Electrode Comprising Said Composite Active Material, and Method for Preparing Said Positive Electrode.” The invention describes porous biochar made from cow hair for use in positive electrodes of lithium-sulfur batteries.

The biochar is specified as containing 85% to 95% carbon and 5% to 15% oxygen by weight. Its carbon forms a three-dimensional matrix that creates porosity amounting to 60% to 80% of the material’s total volume. The patent also covers a process for synthesizing the biochar, a cow hair-based composite active material, a lithium-sulfur battery positive electrode, and a method for preparing that electrode. Saccone is listed with 1 patent.
