  • Patent number: 10826054
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to improve the electron conductivity and ion conductivity of the surface of a positive electrode active material to provide a lithium ion battery having high capacity and high output. The present invention relates to a positive electrode for a lithium ion secondary battery, including a mixture layer containing a positive electrode active material for a lithium ion secondary battery and graphene, wherein the mixture layer has a percentage of abundance of silicon composing a siloxane bond in total elements of 0.4 atomic % or more as measured by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 29, 2016
    Date of Patent: November 3, 2020
    Assignee: TORAY INDUSTRIES, INC.
    Inventors: Takashi Konishi, Eiichiro Tamaki, Manabu Kawasaki, Koki Miyazono
  • Patent number: 10763494
    Abstract: A graphene/organic solvent dispersion liquid is in a stably dispersed state and also unlikely to cause electrolysis of water. A graphene/organic solvent dispersion liquid is also provided including graphene dispersed in an organic solvent and having a value of (W2?W1)/G in the range of 0.005 or more and 0.05 or less, wherein W1 and W2 are the water fractions measured at 130° C. and 250° C., respectively, by the Karl Fischer's method and G is the solid fraction of the graphene.

  • Patent number: 10518506
    Abstract: Provided are a laminate that has high smoothness, planar homogeneity, and substrate adhesion and undergoes little change in physical properties even if degradation of surface quality due to physical contact in use has occurred, and a method for producing the homogeneous laminate in a convenient manner in a small number of steps. A laminate includes a substrate made of a polymer material and a partially oxidized thin layer graphite piece layer including partially oxidized thin layer graphite pieces and having an average thickness to of 3.0 nm to 10,000 nm, the layer being formed on the substrate and bonded to the substrate via a chemical bond.
