Abstract: Thin semiconductor foils can be formed using light reactive deposition. These foils can have an average thickness of less than 100 microns. In some embodiments, the semiconductor foils can have a large surface area, such as greater than about 900 square centimeters. The foil can be free standing or releasably held on one surface. The semiconductor foil can comprise elemental silicon, elemental germanium, silicon carbide, doped forms thereof, alloys thereof or mixtures thereof. The foils can be formed using a release layer that can release the foil after its deposition. The foils can be patterned, cut and processed in other ways for the formation of devices. Suitable devices that can be formed form the foils include, for example, photovoltaic modules and display control circuits.

Abstract: Manganese oxide particles and lithium manganese oxide particles have been produced with an average diameter less than about 500 nm. The particles have a high degree of uniformity including a very narrow distribution of particles sizes. Methods are described for producing metal oxides by performing a reaction with an aerosol including a metal precursor. In particular, the particles can be formed by laser pyrolysis. The lithium manganese oxide particles can be formed by the heat treatment of nanoparticles of manganese oxide. Alternatively, lithium manganese oxide particles can be formed direct ly by laser pyrolysis. The lithium manganese oxide particles are useful as acti ve materials in the positive electrodes of lithium based batteries. Improved batteries result from the use of the uniform nanoscale lithium manganese oxi de particles.

Abstract: Light-driven flow reactors are configured with an aerosol delivery apparatus that is designed to improve the reactive process with respect to forming uniform product compositions at higher rates. In particular, the reactant delivery system can deliver an aerosol having an average droplet size of no more than about 50 microns, and in some embodiments 20 microns, and with less than 1 droplet in 10,000 having a diameter greater than 5 times the average droplet size. In some embodiments, the edge of the aerosol generator can be placed within about 6 centimeters of the edge of the light beam passing through the reaction chamber. The average aerosol velocity can be no more than about 5 meters per second. In some embodiments, the aerosol generator can comprise a non-circular opening and a gas permeable structure that is used to generate a mist that is delivered from the apparatus as an aerosol.

Abstract: Light reactive deposition can be adapted effectively for the deposition of one or more electrochemical cell components. In particular, electrodes, electrolytes, electrical interconnects c be deposited from a reactive flow. In some embodiments, the reactive flow comprises a reactant stream that intersects a light beam to drive a reaction within a light reactive zone to produce product that is deposited on a substrate (422). The approach is extremely versatile for the production of a range of compositions that are useful in electrochemical cells and fuel cell, in particular. The properties of the materials, including the density and porosity can be adjusted based on the deposition properties and any subsequent processing including, for example, heat treatments.

Abstract: Nanoscale particles, particle coatings/particle arrays and corresponding consolidated materials are described based on an ability to vary the composition involving a wide range of metal and/or metalloid elements and corresponding compositions. In particular, metalloid oxides and metal-metalloid compositions are described in the form of improved nanoscale particles and coatings formed from the nanoscale particles. Compositions comprising rare earth metals and dopants/additives with rare earth metals are described. Complex compositions with a range of host compositions and dopants/additives can be formed using the approaches described herein. The particle coating can take the form of particle arrays that range from collections of disbursable primary particles to fused networks of primary particles forming channels that reflect the nanoscale of the primary particles. Suitable materials for optical applications are described along with some optical devices of interest.
