Title: Pramod K Sharma: Innovator in Battery Technology and Adsorbent Materials
Introduction
Pramod K Sharma is a notable inventor based in La Cañada Flintridge, CA (US). He holds a total of 9 patents that showcase his contributions to the fields of battery technology and adsorbent materials. His innovative work has the potential to impact various industries, particularly in energy storage and environmental applications.
Latest Patents
Among his latest patents is a thermally regenerative battery featuring intercalatable electrodes. This battery design includes at least one electrode, such as graphite, which intercalates a first species from the electrolyte in a first compartment, such as bromine, to form a thermally decomposable complex during discharge. The other electrode can also be graphite, supplying another species like lithium to the electrolyte in a second compartment. The thermally decomposable complex remains stable at room temperature but decomposes at elevated temperatures ranging from 50°C to 150°C. The electrode compartments are separated by a selective ion permeable membrane that is impermeable to the first species. Charging is achieved by selectively heating the first electrode.
Another significant patent involves a size-selective hydrophobic adsorbent for organic molecules. This invention relates to an adsorbent created through the pyrolysis of hydrophobic silica with a pore size greater than 5 Å, such as SILICALITE, combined with a molecular sieving polymer precursor like polyfurfuryl alcohol. The adsorbent produced has a silicon to carbon mole ratio between about 10:1 and 1:3, with the preferred ratio being about 2:1 to 1:2. The pyrolysis process is conducted within a temperature range of 100°C to 800°C. This invention also includes a method for selectively adsorbing organic molecules with a mean molecular diameter between about 3 and 6 Å.
