  • Patent number: 9214666
    Abstract: This disclosure concerns graphite materials having lattice distortion for lithium-ion secondary battery negative electrode obtained by a manufacturing method comprising the steps of: pulverizing and classifying a raw coke composition obtained from a heavy-oil composition undergone coking by delayed coking process, the raw coke composition having a H/C atomic ratio that is a ratio of hydrogen atoms H and carbon atoms C of 0.30 to 0.50 and having a micro-strength of 7 to 17 mass % to obtain powder of the raw coke composition; giving compressive stress and shear stress to the powder of the raw coke composition so that average circularity is 0.91 to 0.97 to obtain round powder; heating the round powder to obtain a carbonized composition; and graphitizing the carbonized composition.

  • Publication number: 20140144482
    Abstract: When a tab wire 20 is connected to a busbar electrode 12 on a surface side of a photovoltaic cell 6, the bonding strength at the connection part can be improved and electric resistance can be reduced without reducing the amount of received light. The busbar electrode 12 and the tab wire 20 are bonded via conductive resin 22 having light-transmission property. This conductive resin 22 covers at least a part of a side face of the busbar electrode 12, and preferably reaches the surface of the photovoltaic cell 6. The tab wire 20 may have a width smaller than a width of the busbar electrode 12.
