The present disclosure relates to a nano-engineered coating for cathode active materials, anode active materials, and solid state electrolyte materials for reducing corrosion and enhancing cycle life of a battery, and processes for applying the disclosed coating. Also disclosed is a solid state battery including a solid electrolyte layer having a solid electrolyte particle coated by a protective coating with a thickness of 100 nm or less. The protective coating is obtained by atomic layer deposition (ALD) or molecular layer deposition (MLD). Further disclosed is a solid electrolyte layer for a solid state battery, including a porous scaffold coated by a first, solid electrolyte coating. The solid electrolyte coating has a thickness of 60 μm or less and a weight loading of at least 20 wt. % (or preferable at least 40 wt. % or at least 50 wt. %). Further disclosed is a cathode composite layer for a solid state battery.

Nano-engineered coatings for anode active materials, cathode active materials, and solid-state electrolytes and methods of making batteries containing nano-engineered coatings

The present disclosure relates to a nano-engineered coating for cathode active materials, anode active materials, and solid state electrolyte materials for reducing corrosion and enhancing cycle life of a battery, and various process for applying the disclosed coating.

The patent application relates to a method of producing a monomer component from a genetically modified polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) biomass, wherein the biomass is heated in the presence of a catalyst to release a monomer component from the PHA.

Process for producing a monomer component from a genetically modified polyhydroxyalkanoate biomass

Processes and methods for making biobased gamma-butyrolactone from renewable carbon resources are described herein.

Process for gamma-butyrolactone production

This invention relates to single solvent polymer extraction methods.

Single solvent polymer extraction methods

A method of isolating a PHA, includes combining the PHA, a first solvent and a second solvent to form a combination, the first solvent being capable of forming an azeotrope with the second solvent; and heating the combination to form the azeotrope of the first and second solvents.

The present invention provides methods for isolating a PHA. The method comprises combining the PHA, a first solvent and a second solvent to form a combination, the first solvent and the second solvent being capable of forming an azeotrope with the second solvent; and heating the combination to substantially remove the first solvent from the combination. Alternatively, the method comprises combining the PHA, a first solvent, a second solvent and a third solvent to form a combination, the first solvent and the second solvent being capable of forming an azeotrope with the third solvent; and heating the combination to substantially remove the first solvent and the second solvent from the combination.
