Title:
INTERPENETRATING NETWORKS OF CRYSTALLINE CARBON AND NANO-SCALE ELECTROACTIVE MATERIALS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/112818
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
An interpenetrating network assembly with a network of connected flakes of nano-scale crystalline carbon and nano-scale particles of an electroactive material interconnected with the carbon flakes is provided. The network assemblies are particularly suited for energy storage applications that use metal oxide electroactive materials and a single charge collector or a source and drain. Interpenetrating networks of graphene flakes and metal oxide nanosheets can form independent pathways between source and drain. Nano-scale conductive materials such as metal nanowires, carbon nanotubes, activated carbon or carbon black can be included as part of the conductive network to improve charge transfer.
