Abstract: Some embodiments herein are directed to devices and methods for automatically starting a plasma utilizing a wand. In some embodiments, the wand may be used to start a plasma in a plasma torch such as, for example, a microwave plasma torch or an induction plasma torch, as discussed below. The wand may comprise an elongate, hollow wand member comprising a closed distal end, a proximal end, and one or more apertures extending from a hollow interior of the wand member to an exterior surface of the wand member; and an elongate wire member positioned within the hollow interior of the wand member and extending along at least a portion of a length of the wand member, wherein the wire member is configured to be placed in operable communication through the aperture with a power source, such that the power source can be activated to in turn start the plasma within the plasma torch. The plasma torches discussed herein may be used in various applications including, for example, high volume synthesis of advanced materials such as nano-materials, micro-powders, coatings, alloy compositions for additive manufacturing.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are embodiments of strain tolerant particles, methods of manufacturing such structures, and feedstock to form said structures. In some embodiments, the structures can include alternating regions of an energy storage structure and a reinforcing structure. Advantageously, when the strain tolerant particles are used within an anode of a lithium ion battery, the reinforcing structure may provide mechanical stability to the particles and thus increase cycle life.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for synthesis of spheroidized metal or metal alloy powders using microwave plasma processing. In some embodiments, the metal or metal alloy may comprise a highly ductile, soft, and/or malleable metal or metal alloy such that machining of the metal or metal alloy is difficult or impossible. In some embodiments, a volatile material is dispersed within the metal or metal alloy feedstock to enable machining and pre-processing of the feedstock. In some embodiments, the dispersed volatile material alters the physical properties of the feedstock, such that the metal or metal alloy, which is difficult to machine due to high ductility, softness, and/or malleability, is easily machined in a pre-processing step. In some embodiments, the pre-processed feedstock, can be fed into a plasma processing apparatus. In some embodiments, the volatile material dispersed within the feedstock material may be vaporized upon exposure to the microwave plasma apparatus. In some embodiments, plasma processing of the pre-processed feedstock material may synthesize pure, spheroidized metal or metal alloy particles, with substantially no contamination of the volatile material ion the final product.
