  • Publication number: 20070111085
    Abstract: In An electrocatalyst for an electrode in a fuel cell, it comprises a support, a catalytic metal particle supported on the support, an intermediate made of a metal different from plutinu formed on the support, and a solid polymer electrolyte layer formed on the support. The catalytic metal particle is formed on an exposed surface of the intermediate.

  • Publication number: 20070059584
    Abstract: In an electrode in electrochemical device, particularly an anode lithium ion secondary battery, a cathode for use in alkali storage battery, an electrode for use in fuel cell, or a capacitor electrode, a metal structure has nano size micro-pillars is constructed with an electrode active material being formed on the surface of the metal structure. The metal structure having nano size micro-pillars can be formed, for example, by forming a metal layer as an electrode material by plating to the surface of a substrate having pores and then removing the substrate by dissolution, the metal filled in the pores of the substrate to form a group of micro-pillars. And the active material can be formed by depositing metal by plating. Since the active material is in direct contact with the conductive skeleton, the conducting agent for connecting the active materials to each other may not be added at all.

  • Patent number: 7112627
    Abstract: A curing low dielectric loss tangent film using a low dielectric loss tangent composition containing a polyfunctional styrene compound having excellent dielectric characteristics, and a wiring film using the same as an insulating layer are provided. The low dielectric loss tangent film contains a high molecular weight material and a crosslinking ingredient with a weight average molecular weight of 1000 or less having a plurality of styrene groups shown by the following general formula: (where R represents a hydrocarbon skeleton, R1, which may be identical or different with each other, represents a hydrogen atom or a hydrocarbon group of 1 to 20 carbon atoms, R2, R3 and R4, which may be identical or different with each other, each represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group of 1 to 6 carbon atoms, m represents an integer of 1 to 4, and n represents an integer of 2 or greater).
