  • Publication number: 20030170164
    Abstract: The present invention provides a hydrogen-stored carbonaceous material obtained by storing hydrogen in a carbonaceous material heated at more than 230° C. under a pressure reducing atmosphere, a battery and a fuel cell using this hydrogen-stored carbonaceous material. The carbonaceous material is heated at more than 230° C. under the pressure reducing atmosphere so that its surface can be efficiently cleaned and an area where the surface of the carbonaceous material comes into contact with hydrogen atoms or hydrogen molecules is increased.

  • Publication number: 20030108475
    Abstract: A hydrogen-storing carbonaceous material is obtained by heating a carbonaceous material before hydrogen is stored under the pressure of hydrogen lower than 50 atmospheric pressure. A hydrogen-stored carbonaceous material is obtained by hydrogen storage in the hydrogen-storing carbonaceous material under the pressure of hydrogen lower than 50 atmospheric pressure. This hydrogen-stored carbonaceous material is used for a battery or a fuel cell. The hydrogen-stored carbonaceous material is heated before the hydrogen is stored under the pressure of hydrogen lower than 50 atmospheric pressure, so that the hydrogen-storing carbonaceous material whose hydrogen storage capacity is extremely improved is produced.

  • Publication number: 20030108474
    Abstract: A hydrogen-storing carbonaceous material is obtained by heating a carbonaceous material at lower than 800° C. before hydrogen is stored under the pressure of hydrogen of 50 atmospheric pressure or higher. A hydrogen-stored carbonaceous material is obtained by hydrogen storage in the hydrogen-storing carbonaceous material under the pressure of hydrogen of 50 atmospheric pressure or higher. This hydrogen-stored carbonaceous material is used for a battery or a fuel cell. The hydrogen-stored carbonaceous material is heated at lower than 800° C. before the hydrogen is stored under the pressure of hydrogen of 50 atmospheric pressure or higher, so that the hydrogen-storing carbonaceous material whose hydrogen storage capacity is extremely improved is produced.

  • Patent number: 6455989
    Abstract: An electron emission source includes a plurality of strip-like cathode electrode lines formed on a lower substrate, an insulating layer formed on the cathode electrode lines; and a plurality of strip-like gate electrode lines formed on the insulating layer in such a manner as to intersect the cathode electrode lines, wherein a number of fine holes are formed in each of intersections between the cathode electrode lines and the gate electrode lines. The intersection forms a pixel region corresponding to one pixel of a display. The fine holes pass through the gate electrode lines and the insulating layer and reach the cathode electrode lines. A metal made projecting structure having a trapezoidal shape in cross-section is formed in each of the fine holes in such a manner as to project from the bottom of the fine hole. An electron emission portion on the surface of which carbon nano-tubes are erected is formed on the upper surface of the projecting structure.

  • Publication number: 20010016283
    Abstract: A carbonaceous material for hydrogen storage capable of storing hydrogen in the form of protons is provided. The carbonaceous material is composed of molecules having structural curvatures and has a work function of 4.9 eV or more. The carbonaceous material can be produced by an arc discharge process using a carbon based electrode. Examples of these carbonaceous materials include a baked body composed of a polymer produced from fullerenes by baking thereof, a polymer produced from fullerenes by electrolytic polymerization, a carbonaceous derivative produced by introducing groups allowing hydrogen bonding with protons to a carbonaceous material, and a carbonaceous material composed of molecules having structural bending portions. The carbonaceous materials for hydrogen storage are used for electrochemical devices, such as an alkali battery, air cell, and a fuel cell.
