Title:
AEROGEL AND XEROGEL COMPOSITES FOR USE AS CARBON ANODES
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2005101553
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are aerogel and xerogel composite materials suitable for use as anodes in fuel cells and batteries. Precursors to the aerogel and xerogel compounds are infused with inorganic polymeric materials or carbon particles and then gelled. The gels are then pyrolyzed to form composites with internal structural support.
