  • High-proton-conductive antimonic acid film
    Patent number: 6159624
    Abstract: To provide an antimonic acid film having an excellent conductivity and a high response to humidity, and useful as a high-performance humidity sensor, a hydrogen gas sensor or a hydrogen fuel cell, the present invention provides an antimonic acid film comprising single crystals of cubic antimonic acid dispersed in amorphous antimonic acid by causing metallic antimony or an oxygen-containing compound thereof to react with hydrogen peroxide using the resultant reaction solution as the raw material, and forming a film on an insulated substrate.

  • Iron-titanium-niobium alloy
    Patent number: 4349527
    Abstract: An iron-titanium-niobium alloy of the following formulaFe.sub.x Nb.sub.y Ti.sub.z [I]wherein x+y+z=1, 0.50.gtoreq.x.gtoreq.0.40, and 0.10.gtoreq.y.gtoreq.0.05; and its hydride. Contacting of the iron-titanium-niobium alloy with high-pressure hydrogen gas at room temperature results in its conversion to a hydride. The hydride has the property of easily releasing hydrogen. Thus, the iron-titanium-niobium alloy is useful as a hydrogen storage medium.
