  • Publication number: 20240063391
    Abstract: Provided are: an electrode and a method for producing the same, with which it is possible to produce a primary battery or a secondary battery having excellent characteristics such as environment resistance; and a battery provided with the electrode. This electrode is for a primary battery or a secondary battery, and comprises a current collector and an active material layer provided on the surface of the current collector. The active material layer is composed of: a plurality of active material particles; and a layered metal sulfide for filling portions between the plurality of active material particles.

  • Patent number: 8296090
    Abstract: A gas analyzer using a quadrupole mass spectrometric method etc. is provided with an ionizer to ionize a sample gas, a first ion detector and a second ion detector each configured to detect a respective ion from ionizer, and each being disposed a respective distance from the ionizer on an opposite side of the ionizer, the respective distances being different from each other, a filter interposed between the ionizer and the first ion detector to selectively allow ions from the ionizer to pass therethrough, and an arithmetic device to correct a partial pressure of a specific component obtained from the first ion detector and selected by the filter by using a first total pressure of the sample gas obtained from the first ion detector and a second total pressure of the sample gas obtained from the second ion detector.

  • Publication number: 20100076712
    Abstract: A gas analyzer using a quadrupole mass spectrometric method etc. is provided with an ionizer 211 to ionize a sample gas, a first ion detector 212 and a second ion detector 213 each configured to detect a respective ion from ionizer 211, and each being disposed a respective distance from the ionizer 211 on an opposite side of the ionizer 211, the respective distances being different from each other, a filter 214 interposed between the ionizer 211 and the first ion detector 212 to selectively allow ions from the ionizer 211 to pass therethrough, and an arithmetic device 3 to correct a partial pressure PP1 of a specific component obtained from the first ion detector 212 and selected by the filter 214 by using a first total pressure TP1 of the sample gas obtained from the first ion detector 212 and a second total pressure TP2 of the sample gas obtained from the second ion detector 213.
