  • Patent number: 9472815
    Abstract: A separator for a fuel cell and a method for manufacturing the same comprise two sheets of metal plates integrally formed to minimize contact resistance between an upper metal plate and a lower metal plate. The method for manufacturing the separator includes steps of preparing an upper metal plate and a lower metal plate, each plate having opposing main sides, and applying a coating liquid containing a polymer composite material on both sides of the upper and lower metal plates, to form first and second composite material layers on both sides of the upper plates and third and fourth composite material layers on both sides of the lower plates. The method further includes stacking the upper metal plate on the lower metal plate, before drying the respective composite material layers, and integrally bonding the second composite material layer and the third composite material layer to form a single intermediate composite material layer.

  • Patent number: 9269948
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a high-capacity, low cycle deterioration lithium secondary battery in which the positive electrode is provided with a titanium composite oxide such as Li2NiTiO4. A lithium secondary battery 100 provided by the present invention includes a positive electrode 10 and a negative electrode 20. The positive electrode 10 has a solid solution between Li2M1TiO4 (where M1 is at least one metal element selected from the group consisting of Mn, Fe, Co, and Ni) and LiM2O2 (where M2 is at least one metal element selected from the group consisting of Mn, Co, and Ni).
