  • Publication number: 20080187685
    Abstract: A carbon nanotube is prepared under a non-vacuum environment. An atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition (APCVD) is processed with an external high frequency source and a perpendicularly-supplied gas material source for a cold-wall heating treatment. The carbon nanotube is thus obtained with a vertically aligned arrangement at a high speed and a pure quality for production.

  • Publication number: 20080047826
    Abstract: A protective coating is formed on a stainless interconnecting plate used in solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC). With the protective coating, a contact resistance of the plate is effectively lowered. Anode and cathode of SOFC are also prevented from being poisoned by chromium diffusion from the plate. Therefore, after a long time of use under a high temperature, a degradation rate for power generating of SOFC is reduced; and, thus, a working hour is prolonged. Hence, the SOFC can be mass-produced and large-scaled.
