SEM imaging was measured using Hitachi/S-4800 SEM instrument. To conduct SEM imaging on aCNS, aCNS powder was rst stuck on the sample stage of SEM using double-sided conductive carbon adhesive tapes and the stage was then loaded into the SEM chamber for measurement. To conduct SEM imaging on electrodes in actual battery, the battery was rst opened inside an argon – lled glovebox. The electrodes were taken out from the opened battery and transferred into the argon – lled antechamber of the glovebox. The electrodes were vacuumed and dried inside the antechamber for approximately 3 hours to remove any electrolyte trapped in them. After drying, the electrodes were transferred back into the glovebox and ready to be characterized. The samples were stuck onto the SEM sample stage using double-sided conductive carbon adhesive tapes and introduced into the SEM chamber for measurement. The sample was observed by SEM with 15 kV acceleration voltage of an electron beam at a pressure of 10-7 torr. A magni cation of 200,000 could be achieved. Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) imaging was conducted on a FEI EO Tecnai F20 G2 MAT S- TWIN eld transmission electron microscopy. To prepare samples for TEM imaging, 0.02 g aCNS was dispersed in 10 mL deionized water in a 20 mL scintillation vial (Fisher Scienti c). The mixture was sonicated for 30 minutes until a uniform dispersion of aCNS was achieved. After sonication, one drop of the mixture was dropped onto a Cu TEM grid using glass dropping pipette. The grid was then placed inside a 100 oC oven for 3 days. After drying, the Cu TEM grid with aCNS sample was introduced into the TEM instrument operating at 200 kV for measurement. XPS Experiments XPS measurement was conducted in SNSF facility, Stanford University and the XPS instrument used was PHI VersProbe 1. To conduct XPS on sodium immersed in different solutions (4 M AlCl3 + 2 wt% NaFSI/NaTFSI in SOCl2 or 4 M AlCl3 in SOCl2), the sample preparation was done inside an argon – lled glovebox. Na foil was prepared the same way as preparing Na electrode in battery (Battery Making). After immersion in the appropriate solution for 1 hour, the Na foil was taken out from the solution and any liquid remaining on the surface was dried using kimwipes (Kimberly – Clark ProfessionalTM Kimtech ScienceTM). The antechamber of the glovebox was re lled with argon and the sample was transferred into the antechamber, in which the sample was vacuumed dried. After drying, the sample was transferred into the glovebox and was ready to be characterized by XPS. To conduct XPS on electrodes from battery, the sample preparation was the same as the sample preparation for SEM imaging. After sample preparation, the sample was clamped onto the XPS stage and was transferred into the main chamber of the XPS instrument for measurement. All the spectra reported were the spectra obtained after 20 nm argon ion sputtering to remove any possible surface contamination during sample handling.

Product and Development Focus for Infinity Turbine
ORC Waste Heat Turbine and ORC System Build Plans: All turbine plans are $10,000 each. This allows you to build a system and then consider licensing for production after you have completed and tested a unit.Redox Flow Battery Technology: With the advent of the new USA tax credits for producing and selling batteries ($35/kW) we are focussing on a simple flow battery using shipping containers as the modular electrolyte storage units with tax credits up to $140,000 per system. Our main focus is on the salt battery. This battery can be used for both thermal and electrical storage applications. We call it the Cogeneration Battery or Cogen Battery. One project is converting salt (brine) based water conditioners to simultaneously produce power. In addition, there are many opportunities to extract Lithium from brine (salt lakes, groundwater, and producer water).Salt water or brine are huge sources for lithium. Most of the worlds lithium is acquired from a brine source. It's even in seawater in a low concentration. Brine is also a byproduct of huge powerplants, which can now use that as an electrolyte and a huge flow battery (which allows storage at the source).We welcome any business and equipment inquiries, as well as licensing our turbines for manufacturing.CONTACT TEL: 608-238-6001 Email: greg@infinityturbine.com (Standard Web Page)
