Abstract: Disclosed is a method of producing a chemically pure and stably dispersed organic nanoparticle colloidal suspension using an ultrafast pulsed laser ablation process. The method comprises irradiating a target of an organic compound material in contact with a poor solvent with ultrashort laser pulses at a high repetition rate and collecting the nanoparticles of the organic compound produced. The method may be implemented with a high repetition rate ultrafast pulsed laser source, an optical system for focusing and moving the pulsed laser beam, an organic compound target in contact with a poor solvent, and a solvent circulating system to cool the laser focal volume and collect the produced nanoparticle products. By controlling various laser parameters, and with optional poor solvent flow movement, the method provides stable colloids of dispersed organic nanoparticles in the poor solvent in the absence of any stabilizing agents.

Abstract: A predoping method for a negative electrode active material of an energy storage device, comprising at least one predoping material that can provide an ion that is different from a primary ionic charge carrier for a charging and discharging process of the energy storage device, called non-primary predoping material. The predoping material may be first included in a predoping electrode and later discharged to the negative electrode active material. The predoping material may be first mixed with the negative electrode active material in an electrode fabrication process, and later made to directly contact the negative electrode active material by adding an electrolyte and removing the protective shells of the predoping material. An ion exchanging method is used to exchange a first ion coming from the predoping material for a second ion in an electrode stack.
