SOLVATED METAL PARTICLE-COATING SYSTEM AND METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18205032 titled 'SOLVATED METAL PARTICLE-COATING SYSTEM AND METHOD

Simplified Explanation

The solvated metal particle-coating system involves a metal additive solvated in a polar outer-sphere electron transferring solvent, such as liquid ammonia, methylamine, or hexamethylphosphoramide. This system is used to coat metal or metalloid particles by coupling the solvated metal additive to the particles as the solvent evaporates.

  • Metal additive solvated in a polar outer-sphere electron transferring solvent

Original Abstract Submitted

The solvated metal particle-coating system includes a metal additive and a polar outer-sphere electron transferring solvent. The metal additive is solvated in the polar outer-sphere electron transferring solvent. The polar outer-sphere electron transferring solvent may include liquid ammonia, methylamine, and/or hexamethylphosphoramide. The metal additive may include an alkali metal and/or an alkaline earth metal. The solvated metal additive within the polar outer-sphere electron transferring solvent may be used to coat a metal particle and/or a metalloid particle as a layer. As the polar outer-sphere electron transferring solvent evaporates, the solvated metal additive is coupled to the metal particle and/or the metalloid particle.
