  • Patent number: 10374223
    Abstract: A conventional positive electrode material for lithium ion batteries that is made of positive electrode active material/graphene composite particles has low graphene material ion conductivity and is incapable of providing favorable battery performance. In the present invention, positive electrode active material/graphene composite particles are conferred with high electron conductivity and ion conductivity by formation of an appropriately functionalized graphene/positive electrode active material composite, and are capable of yielding a high-capacity/high-output lithium ion secondary battery when used as a positive electrode active material for a lithium ion battery.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 20, 2014
    Date of Patent: August 6, 2019
    Assignee: TORAY INDUSTRIES, INC.

  • Patent number: 9059448
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for producing a polymer electrolyte membrane, which comprises the steps of: removing a part of a salt component produced during polycondensation from a polymerization solution of a polymer electrolyte having a density of an ionic group of 2 mmol/g or more directly by centrifugal separation, thereby preparing a coating solution; applying the coating solution on a substrate by casting; removing a part of a solvent from the coating solution to form a film-shaped material on the substrate; and bringing the film-shaped material on the substrate into contact with water and/or an aqueous acidic solution to remove the salt component produced during the polycondensation. According to the method for producing an electrolyte membrane, even an electrolyte having a high density of an ionic group can be purified. Also disclosed is an electrolyte membrane capable of being used in a fuel cell which is operated at a high temperature higher than 80° C.

  • Patent number: 7212500
    Abstract: In an ANS used for a television conference between calling and destined conference room terminals accommodated in an ATM network, an address of each conference room terminal is stored in an address database as address resolution data which have no hierarchical structure and which therefore uniquely define each conference room terminal. A priority level of each conference room terminal is also stored in the address database and is referenced on occurrence of congestion so as to determine whether or not a connection is released during a conference. Reservation data may be stored in the ANS together with topology data and connection data.
