Latest Patents
Goldner's latest patents include a rechargeable thin film battery and a method for making the same. This invention describes a rechargeable, stackable, thin film, solid-state lithium electrochemical cell. The cell and battery are designed to provide various configurations, voltage, and current capacities. An innovative low-temperature ion beam-assisted deposition method is disclosed for fabricating thin film, solid-state anodes, cathodes, and electrolytes. This method combines a source of energetic ions and evaporants to create thin film cell components with preferred crystallinity, structure, and orientation. These batteries are particularly useful as power sources for portable electronic devices and electric vehicles, where high energy density, high reversible charge capacity, high discharge current, and long battery lifetimes are essential.
Another notable patent is for an electrochromic window with high reflectivity modulation. This invention features a multi-layered, active, thin film, solid-state electrochromic device that exhibits high reflectivity in the near infrared when in a colored state. It also demonstrates significant reflectivity and transmissivity modulation when switching between colored and bleached states. The device is designed to have low absorptivity in the near infrared and fast switching times. The typical colored-state reflectivity of the device exceeds 50% in the near infrared, while the bleached-state reflectivity is less than 40% in the visible spectrum.
