  • Publication number: 20240079722
    Abstract: A method of producing an all-solid-state battery comprises preparing a second slurry which is a solid electrolyte slurry, and applying the second slurry to a foundation layer using a die head to form a solid electrolyte layer. A pressure P of the second slurry and a viscosity ? of the second slurry inside the die head at a predetermined shear rate satisfy a relationship of P/4?<4. The foundation layer has a porosity within a range of 30% to 50%.

  • Publication number: 20230352647
    Abstract: A first layer is formed. A second layer is formed by coating a slurry onto a surface of the first layer. The second layer is subjected to pressing, thereby manufacturing an electrode laminate. The forming of the first layer is performed such that a relation of an Expression “0.1<Sa<0.2” is satisfied. In the Expression, Sa (?m) represents an arithmetic mean height of the surface of the first layer.

  • Patent number: 11267097
    Abstract: A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program of stretching operation of an elastic membrane which can enhance elasticity of an elastic membrane in a short time without using a dummy wafer is disclosed. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program of stretching operation of an elastic membrane in a substrate holding apparatus, the program causes a computer to perform stretching operation of supplying a pressurized fluid to a pressure chamber formed by the elastic membrane and allowing the pressure chamber to be open to the atmosphere a predetermined number of times by a pressure regulating device in a state where the substrate holding apparatus is positioned above a polishing table during standby operation of a polishing apparatus.

  • Publication number: 20210283892
    Abstract: A manufacturing method of a laminate for manufacturing a fuel cell which uses a roll-to-roll technique includes: a first step of preparing a first laminate formed by stacking the release layer, the electrolyte membrane and an electrode layer in this order on a back sheet, a second step of stacking and bonding a gas diffusion layer on the electrode layer of the first laminate to obtain a second laminate, and a third step of peeling the back sheet from the second laminate to obtain a third laminate; and the bonding temperature in the second step is less than 170° C., and a tension X (N) applied to the back sheet, and a conveyance speed Y (m/min) at which the second step to the third step are continuously executed satisfy a following equation (1). Y?12.09exp (?0.15X) ??. . . (1).

  • Publication number: 20190118330
    Abstract: A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program of stretching operation of an elastic membrane which can enhance elasticity of an elastic membrane in a short time without using a dummy wafer is disclosed. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program of stretching operation of an elastic membrane in a substrate holding apparatus, the program causes a computer to perfoini stretching operation of supplying a pressurized fluid to a pressure chamber formed by the elastic membrane and allowing the pressure chamber to be open to the atmosphere a predetermined number of times by a pressure regulating device in a state where the substrate holding apparatus is positioned above a polishing table during standby operation of a polishing apparatus.
