- A porous substrate is coated with Chinese ink followed by atomic layer depositionIntellectual Property Available to LicenseSystems and methods for photothermal material
- ANL-IN-18-039 entitled “SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PHOTOTHERMAL MATERIAL”
The invention comprises a method to fabricate photothermal materials. A porous substrate, such as a membrane or sponge, is coated with Chinese ink followed by atomic layer deposition. More
Abstract
Chinese ink is applied on various materials and stabilized by atomic layer deposition to fabricate solar steam generation devices. The encapsulated ink has excellent photothermal properties and evaporation efficiency under simulated sunlight, holding great promise in solar evaporation device applications.
- Exhibits a tightly bound hydration layer upon exposure to waterIntellectual Property Available to LicenseU.S. Patent Application 15/994,825
- Systems and Methods for Oleophobic Composite Membranes (ANL-IN-17-184)
Atomic layer deposition is utilized to deposit a coating on a membrane. The coated membrane exhibits a tightly bound hydration layer upon exposure to water. The resultant coated membrane is oleophobic. More
