  • Publication number: 20240170675
    Abstract: A binder for a lithium-sulfur electrode is proposed. The binder can improve the capacity and lifespan characteristics of a lithium-sulfur secondary battery by suppressing the shuttle reaction due to the elution of polysulfide through the interaction of lithium polysulfide while maintaining the binding characteristics of the binder. This binder may be used for a positive electrode and a lithium-sulfur secondary battery. The binder may include a modified polyvinylidene fluoride (PVdF)-based binder that is soluble in an organic solvent. The modified PVdF-based binder may include a PVdF-based main chain and a functional group having a carboxylic group or carbonyl group grafted as a side chain.

  • Publication number: 20230277525
    Abstract: The present invention relates to: a toll-like receptor 7 or 8 agonist-drug complex material in which a functional drug and a toll-like receptor 7 or 8 agonist are bonded by a chemical bond containing a cleavable site; and using the properties of the temporarily inactivated state, the side effects of the toll-like receptor 7 or 8 agonist can be reduced. In particular, the complex material is designed such that the immunostimulatory function of the toll-like receptor 7 or 8 agonist is inhibited due to the chemical bond, while the immunostimulatory function is recovered at an injection site or in a tumor microenvironment or target immune cells, thus exhibiting kinetic properties in which immunostimulatory efficacy can be controlled over time, and minimizing the induction of nonspecific immune responses.

  • Patent number: 10256390
    Abstract: A solar power generation system according to the present invention comprises heat pipes which are arranged radially on the outer peripheral surface of an absorber to increase heat transfer effectiveness between the absorber and the heat pipes, thereby improving heat transfer efficiency. Also, the solar power generation system has the advantage of operating the system more stably and efficiently even in suddenly changing weather conditions, due to the improved heat transfer efficiency and capability to store heat for a specific amount of time. In addition, when the heat pipes are extrapolated onto the absorber, heat can be transferred more effectively by increasing contact surface area with between the absorber and the heat pipes. Furthermore, heat can be transferred more effectively by increasing the contact surface area by coupling the heat pipes to a heat exchange portion through a block-coupling technique.

  • Patent number: 10024581
    Abstract: A solar power generation system according to the present invention comprises a heat pipe arranged so as to come into close contact with an absorption module, for absorbing heat from the absorption module and directly transferring heat to a heat conversion electricity generator, and thereby has the advantages of rendering the system compact by simplifying a heat transfer structure and more effectively transferring heat by increasing contact surface area with the absorption module. Also, ample heat storage space is secured by forming the heat pipe to have a larger volume (heat capacity) than an absorption heat pipe in the absorption module so that an ample heat source can be provided by the heat conversion electricity generator, even during weather conditions when solar radiation can fluctuate suddenly, thereby allowing more stable and efficient operation of the system.
