Abstract: A fine metal linear body is provided in which the sintering temperature is lower than that in conventional examples. The fine metal linear body has a length of 0.5 to 200 µm and a thickness of 30 nm to 10 µm. When a length of a crystal of a metal constituting the fine metal linear body, in a direction in which the fine metal linear body extends, is taken as X, and a length thereof in a direction orthogonal to the direction is taken as Y, an X/Y value, which is a ratio of the X to the Y, is 4 or less, in three boundary regions when dividing the length of the fine metal linear body into four equal parts along the extending direction.

Abstract: An active material is provided for use in a solid-state battery. The active material exhibits at least one peak in the range of 0.145 to 0.185 nm and at least one peak in the range of 0.280 to 0.310 nm in a radial distribution function obtained through measurement of an X-ray absorption fine structure thereof. In the particle size distribution, by volume, of the active material obtained through a particle size distribution measurement by laser diffraction scattering method, the ratio of the absolute value of the difference between the mode diameter of the active material and the D10 of the active material (referred to as the “mode diameter” and the “D10” respectively) to the mode diameter in percentage terms, (|mode diameter - D10 / mode diameter) x 100, satisfies 0% < (( | mode diameter - D10| / mode diameter) x 100) ? 58.0%.

The active material exhibits at least one peak in the range of from 0.145 nm to 0.185 nm and at least one peak in the range of from 0.28 nm to 0.31 nm in a radial distribution function obtained through measurement of an X-ray absorption fine structure of the active material. The active material is for use in a solid-state battery. The active material preferably has a core particle, and a coating layer located on the surface of the core particle.

Abstract: A metal composite laminate for producing a flexible wiring board a wiring-forming metal layer for forming a wiring pattern that is laminated on the front surface of a flexible insulating resin layer, a support metal layer that serves as a support is laminated on the back surface of the insulating resin layer. The total thickness (Wt) of the metal composite laminate; the thickness (W0) of the insulating resin layer; the mean surface roughness (Rz-1) of the wiring-forming metal layer facing the front surface of the insulating resin layer; and the mean surface roughness (Rz-2) of the support metal layer facing the back surface of the insulating resin layer are controlled.

Abstract: A method for producing a metal thin body by electroplating, in which the relative integrated intensity of the (111) plane of the metal thin body can be increased to 65% or greater. By carrying out electroplating using an electrolytic solution (plating solution) containing 5% in volume or greater of acetonitrile and water, in particular, using an electrolytic solution (plating solution) containing 10% in volume or greater of acetonitrile and water, the relative integrated intensity of the (111) plane can be increased to 65% or greater.

Abstract: A method of measuring a concentration and a molecular weight distribution of glue or gelatin contained in an electrolyte, which comprises high performance liquid chromatography combined with column switching.
