Graphitic carbon nitride materials are shown to be useful in Lithium-Sulfur electrochemical cells. Batteries that include this material exhibit increased electrode kinetics of the lithium-sulfur electrochemical couple, phenomena that improve the specific capacity, usable lifetime and other desirable characteristics of these batteries. Lithium-sulfur batteries that incorporate these materials can be used to overcome a number of limitations in this technology.

Pnictide containing catalysts for electrochemical conversion reactions and methods of use

A hybrid siloxy derived resin and a method of making them and a method of applying them as a benign passivant on electrochemical electrodes is provided. These resins are made by the process of reacting a silane and an alkaline, transition metal or metalloid alkoxide, in the presence of a lewis acid. The methods described do not require further purification steps; heat; or strong acid/base catalysis to initiate hydrolysis.

Process for synthesis of hybrid siloxy derived resins and crosslinked networks therefrom

A composition of matter including a phosphor having an emission peak in each of a blue, green, and red color region of the Electromagnetic spectrum, wherein the phosphor is excitable by light having a wavelength between 350 nanometers (nm) and 420 nm.

Single phase and full-color phosphor

An article and method of using spacer layer regions is provided, containing a gas compound, to reduce gas permeation through barrier films overlying a substrate comprising creating a spacer layer between one or more of the barrier films, wherein the spacer layer comprises at least one inert gaseous compound. In another embodiment, an article and method is provided comprising creating alternating thin films of hybridized sol-gel spin-on glass and PDMS based and olefin based elastomers.

Encapsulation architectures for utilizing flexible barrier films

A method is provided for producing crystalline nanoparticle semiconductor material. The method includes the steps of mixing a precursor in a solvent to form a reaction mixture and subjecting the reaction mixture to microwave dielectric heating at sufficient power to achieve a superheating temperature of the reaction mixture. A growth-phase reaction is permitted to proceed, wherein nanoparticles are formed in the heated reaction mixture. The reaction is then quenched to substantially terminate nanoparticle formation.

Nanoparticle synthesis and associated methods

A semiconductor device comprising curable polyorganosiloxane composites is provided where the composites contain at least 0.1 wt % of the 4and/or 13group elements of the periodic table. The cured polyorganosiloxane composites may be catalyst-free, have increased stability, and can be used as encapsulation resin at a temperature far lower than 300&#xb0; C., have excellent light transmission properties (colorless transparency) in a wavelength region of from ultraviolet light to visible light, light resistance, heat resistance, resistance to moist heat and UV resistance, and has excellent adhesiveness toward metal, ceramics, and plastic surfaces over a long period of time.

Semiconductor device comprising high performance encapsulation resins

A method for synthesis of high quality colloidal nanoparticles using comprises a high heating rate process. Irradiation of single mode, high power, microwave is a particularly well suited technique to realize high quality semiconductor nanoparticles. The use of microwave radiation effectively automates the synthesis, and more importantly, permits the use of a continuous flow microwave reactor for commercial preparation of the high quality colloidal nanoparticles.
