    摘要: A system comprises a processing chamber for maintaining a hydrogen plasma at low pressure. The processing chamber has a long, wide, thin geometry to favor deposition of thin-film silicon on sheet substrates over the chamber walls. The sheet substrates are moved through between ends. A pair of opposing radio frequency electrodes above and below the workpieces are electrically driven hard to generate a flat, pancaked plasma cloud in the middle spaces of the processing chamber. A collinear series of gas injector jets pointed slightly up on a silane-jet manifold introduce 100% silane gas at high velocity from the side in order to roll the plasma cloud in a coaxial vortex. A second such silane-jet manifold is placed on the opposite side and pointed slightly down to further help roll the plasma and maintain a narrow band of silane concentration. A silane-concentration monitor observes the relative amplitudes of the spectral signatures of the silane and the hydrogen constituents in the roll-vortex plasma and outputs a process control feedback signal that is used to keep the silane in hydrogen concentration at about 6-7%.

    摘要: A system for large scale capture of atmospheric carbon dioxide while exposed to air and weather in an outdoor environment, includes a large flat slab with a perimeter wall projecting above its surface; one or more rotary fans, providing uniform, high volume, low velocity, turbulent air flow over the entire slab surface; a transport system transferring powder—a particulate material mixed with air—to and from all locations on the slab or on an overlying mesh screen, a kiln, closed to outside air, and a compressor. The transport system includes either a vacuum/deposition system or a conveyor system with one or more conveyors. The kiln heats the particulate material, delivered by the transport system from the slab, to output released carbon dioxide, previously absorbed by the particulate material in the powder, to the compressor for compression, and either the heated particulate material, or a processed version of it.

    摘要: A fiber comprises a bulk material comprising one or more materials selected from the group consisting of carbon, silicon, boron, silicon carbide, and boron nitride; and a metal whose affinity for oxygen is greater than the affinity for oxygen of any of the one or more materials. The metal may be selected from the group consisting of beryllium, titanium, hafnium and zirconium. At least a first portion of the metal may be present in un-oxidized form at the entrance to and/or within grain boundaries within the fiber.A method of improving at least one of the strength, creep resistance, and toughness of a fiber comprises adding to a fiber, initially comprising a bulk material having a first affinity for oxygen, a metal that has a second affinity for oxygen higher than the first affinity. The metal may be selected from the group consisting of beryllium, titanium, hafnium and zirconium.

    摘要: An apparatus comprises a separator, a compressor, a mixer and a pump. The separator operates on an input gas mixture comprising carbon dioxide gas and one or more other gases, providing a separated carbon dioxide gas output. A compressor compresses the separated carbon dioxide gas output, providing a second output comprising at least one of gaseous carbon dioxide and liquid carbon dioxide. A mixer mixes the second output with liquid water under pressure to provide a third output comprising: at least one of liquid carbon dioxide and gaseous carbon dioxide; and water with dissolved carbon dioxide. A pump pumps the third output into an underground structure such that components of the third output react with available rock surfaces to form stable carbonates.

    摘要: A lithium battery includes a solid cathode and a solid electrolyte (SSE), wherein a structurally continuous block of material comprises the solid cathode and the SSE. The structurally continuous solid block of material has a first chemical composition in the solid cathode and a second chemical composition, different from the first chemical composition, in the SSE. The SSE overlies the solid cathode, without any physical separation or interface therebetween.
    A method for fabricating a lithium battery includes placing a first layer of particles of an electrolyte material of a first composition on top of a second layer of particles of a cathode material of a second composition, forming a stack; and compressing and heating the stack of first and second layers to form a continuous solid material. The formed material has a solid electrolyte (SSE) characterized by the first composition and a solid cathode characterized by the second composition.
