ProfessorPatent Battery
Dual-Board MCTS chessifying Title 35 patent law and solid-state crystallographic physics simultaneously. Deconstructing the 5-layer solid-state battery thicket (LLZO Garnet, LGPS Sulfide, Ag-C Anode, Halides, High-Temp Sintering) while mutating non-infringing, FEOC-free superionic crystal lattices with zero Germanium, Indium, or Lanthanum.
Executive Guided Walkthrough: 68-Second Solid-State Discovery
Automated director executing real-time thicket radar, PTAB petition brief, superionic crystal lattice mutation, and defensive claim drafting.
Concentric 5-Layer Solid-State Battery Patent Thicket (CPC H01M 10/0562)
Tracking statutory patent lifespans, crystallographic claim bounds, and Foreign Entity of Concern (FEOC) supply-chain vulnerabilities.
Fast lithium ion conducting ceramic material with garnet-like structure
Lanthanum (La) refining is >85% controlled by China (FEOC). Tantalum carries Dodd-Frank conflict mineral reporting burdens.
Prior art Murugan et al. (2007) discloses cubic LLZO with Ta doping at y = 0.25 to 0.60, establishing 93.4% § 103 obviousness under Titanium Metals.
Sulfide-based solid electrolyte material and battery using same
Germanium (Ge) is under Chinese Ministry of Commerce weaponized export controls (Aug 2023). Lethal H2S generation upon moisture contact.
Disqualifies licensed EVs from IRA § 30D $7,500 consumer tax credit; narrow 1.7-2.3 V stability window requires protective coatings.
Solid-state secondary battery comprising a silver-carbon nanocomposite anode interlayer
Silver (~$32/oz) imposes prohibitive cost penalty ($18-$22/kWh), blocking mass-market EV viability.
Strictly constrained to 1-10 um thickness and Ag-C composition; completely vitiated by sub-micron (0.4 um) in-situ Li3N/Mg3N2 MIEC alloys.
Halide solid electrolyte material and battery comprising the same
Indium (In) is >70% refined in China, highly scarce, and cost-prohibitive ($280-$350/kg).
Vulnerable to § 112 overbreadth on open Group 3/13 substitution; bypassed by Indium-free monoclinic Zr/Al oxychlorides.
Method for densifying garnet-type solid electrolyte ceramics at elevated temperatures
High energy capex kilns; lithium volatilization >1000°C creates parasitic La2Zr2O7 pyrochlore.
Requires >=950°C sintering; 100% vitiated by room-temperature (25°C) ductile cold-pressable carborane paddle-wheels or oxyhalides.
