    Abstract: A flexible and foldable lithium ion battery is disclosed having an operational bend radius of 180 degrees with no interruption in supply of electrical power. The lithium ion battery includes a high-elasticity separator sponge having a porosity of approximately 70% to approximately 90%. The separator is a polymer-based fiber mat having fibers with a submicron diameter. The separator sponge has a thickness in a range of approximately 5 to 50 microns, an air permeability of approximately 100 to approximately 300 s/100 ml, and a puncture resistance of approximately 350 to approximately 950 N. First and second electrodes are disposed on either side of the separator sponge and include active materials positioned on thin metal current collectors. A liquid electrolyte is absorbed by the separator sponge. The battery may be folded upon itself without loss of power.

    Abstract: Abstract:
    A secondary electrochemical device, includes a high-voltage positive electrode, a negative electrode such as a lithium metal electrode, and an optional separator. A non-aqueous liquid electrolyte includes at least one metal-organic polyhedral (MOP) additive in an amount at least 0.1 weight percent. Typically, an upper limit of the additive is approximately 4 weight percent. The MOP additive has a discrete porous nanocage structure including plural metal clusters with organic ligands forming an accessible cavity with open metal sites and organic functionalities configured to trap water, anions, and transition metal species from the non-aqueous liquid electrolyte. The MOP is further configured to facilitate lithium-ion transport, scavenge free radicals, and stabilize electrode-electrolyte interphases.

    Abstract: A quasi-solid-state battery formed from non-gas evolving in-situ curing of a quasi-solid-state electrolyte that includes a high swelling polymer made from a monomer with good compatibility with liquid electrolytes, and has a good reactivity for facile non-gas evolving in-situ polymerization. The monomer can be based on acrylate polymerization chemistry or an allyl group polymerization chemistry. Non-gas evolving initiators are used for non-gas evolving in-situ polymerization of acrylate or allyl monomer-based QSE. The resulting QSE additionally has high ionic conductivity, allowing for a high battery output, and a wide electrochemical window (stable for lithium metal anode and high-voltage cathodes). The resulting quasi solid electrolyte battery is not only easy to fabricate using conventional battery manufacturing practices, the non-gas evolving in-situ polymerization causes the QSE to be uniformly distributed within the battery, ensuring high-quality, safe battery performance and longevity.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to an electrophotographic photoreceptor, which includes a conductive substrate; an undercoat layer disposed on the conductive substrate and capable of conforming to the contour of the conductive substrate, a photoconductor charge generation layer disposed on the undercoat layer and capable of conforming to the contour of the undercoat layer, and a charge transport layer disposed on the photoconductor charge generation layer. The charge transport layer contains a charge transport material, a binder resin, a fluorine-containing resin, and a plurality of polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) particles evenly dispersed in the binder resin, and the POSS particles are interconnected with at least one fluorine group and at least two non-fluoridated groups. By adding approximately 1% of the POSS particles and lubricant nanoparticles, a life-time improvement of at least 20% is achieved for an OPC drum.

    Abstract: A foldable ultrathin glass article includes an ultrathin chemically-tempered foldable glass substrate having a thickness of approximately 100 microns or less and a compressive surface stress of at least 100 MPa. A single-layer hard coating is bonded to the first and/or second surface of the ultrathin tempered glass foldable substrate without an adhesive layer. The hard coating includes at least one silsesquioxane having a silicon-oxygen core framework directly bonded to the ultrathin tempered glass foldable substrate. The impact resistance defined by a maximum pen drop height without glass failure is at least four times greater than the ultrathin tempered glass foldable substrate without the hard coating. The hard coating has a surface hardness of at least 7H surface hardness and has a hydrophobic surface with a water contact angle of at least 100°. The coating has a transparency of at least 98 percent compared to uncoated substrates.

    Abstract: A pressure distribution mapping system includes a flexible M×N textile-based pressure sensor array. with first and second electrode textile layers and a piezoresistive fabric layer with a sheet resistance of at least 60 k-ohm/square positioned between the first and second electrode textile layers. Individual pressure sensors are formed by an intersection between a row electrically-conductive path and a column electrically-conductive path along with the portion of the piezoresistive layer positioned at the intersection. A measurement system measures the resistance of each pressure sensor of the pressure sensor array. The measurement system includes a reading module with first op-amps connected to each row and second op-amps connected to each column. Plural switches switch between pressure sensor-enabled and pressure sensor-disabled positions to minimize a bus line crosstalk effect during pressure sensor reading A processor scans each pressure sensor and generates a pressure distribution profile based on a measured resistance of each pressure sensor.

    Abstract: A quantum dot-based color display includes a backlight unit with a light source and light source distribution layer and a photo down-conversion light emissive layer. The photo down-conversion layer has populations of light-emitting Group II-VI core-shell structure quantum dots, the core having an excess amount of a Group II component in a ratio to a Group VI component of approximately 6:1 or greater. The quantum dots include an organic fraction of approximately 20 weight percent to approximately 45 weight percent, the organic fraction including ligands bound to quantum dot surfaces in an as-deposited state and including one or more long-chain fatty acids. Non-barrier polymer films are positioned on either side of the photo down conversion light emissive layer which exhibits photo stability at a light intensity of at least 4000 W/m2. A display panel cooperates with the back light unit to form the display.
