Introduction
Yuan-Ming Chang is a prominent inventor based in Taipei, Taiwan. He has made significant contributions to the field of energy storage and catalysis, holding a total of 2 patents. His work focuses on enhancing the efficiency and stability of energy systems.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is a method of fabricating electrodes of high power-density flow cell. This innovative method involves producing electrodes by distributing a plurality of seeds on a surface of a conductive carbon material. The seeds are then etched into nanoparticles to form carbon nanotube (CNT) electrodes. This invention can be applied to vanadium redox flow cells, offering advantages such as improved conductivity, corrosion resistance, mechanical strength, and enhanced electrochemical surface area. The design allows electrons to be directly passed to the material through CNTs, improving the power density of the flow cell and making the cell pack more compact while reducing energy consumption during charging and discharging without the need for noble metal materials.
Another significant patent by Yuan-Ming Chang is a method of modifying a nano-porous gas-reforming catalyst with high-temperature stability. This catalyst utilizes α-Al2O3 as a carrier and is designed to be nano-porous, which greatly broadens the reaction surface. The platinum contained within the catalyst does not increase in size after prolonged use, and it effectively prevents carbon deposition, ensuring a long lifespan. Remarkably, the stability of this catalyst is maintained even at temperatures exceeding 800°C.
