US Patent Issued to THE TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY SYSTEM on Feb. 3 for "Synthesis of a metastable vanadium pentoxide as a cathode material for ion batteries" (Texas Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Feb. 3 -- United States Patent no. 12,542,278, issued on Feb. 3, was assigned to THE TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY SYSTEM (College Station, Texas).

"Synthesis of a metastable vanadium pentoxide as a cathode material for ion batteries" was invented by Sarbajit Banerjee (College Station, Texas) and Justin L. Andrews (College Station, Texas).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A highly scalable process has been developed for stabilizing large quantities of the zeta-polymorph of V2O5, a metastable kinetically trapped phase, with high compositional and phase purity. The process utilizes a beta-CuxV2O5 precursor which is synthetized from solution using all-soluble precursors. The copper can be le...
