  • Method for cultivating seaweed having adherence
    Patent number: 7712250
    Abstract: A wild seaweed, like sea lettuce, is picked and germ cells are released from the seaweed. The germ cells then obtain adherence and are sprouted into youngs of the seaweed so that the seaweed can be cultivated artificially and productively and can be supplied as a material for biomass energy.

  • InN/InP/TiOphotosensitized electrode
    Patent number: 7655575
    Abstract: The present invention is a photosensitized electrode which absorbs sunlight to obtain electron-hole pair. The photosensitized electrode is fabricated with simple procedure and has low cost. The electrode has excellent chemical resist to be applied in a solar cell device with enhanced sun-light absorbing ability. The present invention can be applied in an optoelectronic device or a hydrogen generator device too.
