Patents by Inventor Mahito Atobe

Mahito Atobe has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Electrode body for solar cell, method for producing the electrode body, and solar cell provided with the electrode body
    Patent number: 9184401
    Abstract: Disclosed is an electrode body for a solar cell, which is capable of being used as a component of both an organic thin-film solar cell and a dye-sensitized solar cell, and has excellent heat resistance. This electrode body for a solar cell is provided with a substrate with a conductive part at least on the surface and a conductive polymer layer located on the conductive part of the substrate, in which the conductive polymer layer includes: a polymer which is obtained by polymerizing a monomer selected from the group consisting of 3,4-disubstituted thiophenes; and an anion as a dopant to the polymer generated from at least one organic non-sulfonate compound having an anion with the molecular weight of 200 or more. Since the anion of the organic non-sulfonate compound is included as a dopant in the conductive polymer layer, the heat resistance of the conductive polymer layer is improved.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 31, 2012
    Date of Patent: November 10, 2015
    Assignee: NIPPON CHEMI-CON CORPORATION
    Inventors: Mahito Atobe, Koji Nakabayashi, Kenji Machida, Sekihiro Takeda
  • Polymerization fluid, method for producing the polymerization fluid, transparent film and transparent electrode made from the polymerization fluid
    Patent number: 8927683
    Abstract: Disclosed is a polymerization fluid for electropolymerization which exhibits a reduced environmental burden and excellent economic efficiency and which can yield a conductive polymer film that has high conductivity and that is dense and highly transparent. The polymerization fluid includes at least one monomer selected from the group consisting of 3,4-disubstituted thiophenes which is dispersed as oil drops in surfactant-free water, and the polymerization fluid is transparent.
