  • Patent number: 9728795
    Abstract: A complex fuel cell stack with hydrogen storage unit is introduced. Through the new configuration of the PEM fuel cell stack, no cooling system and cooling fluid is needed for the fuel cell stack, since hydrogen storage vessel can act as a heat sink to protect the expensive catalyst layer of the MEA of the fuel cell away from over-heated and damaged. In addition, the waste heat generated from the operation of the fuel cells can aid in release of hydrogen from hydrogen storage alloys inside the hydrogen storage vessel.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20150295022
    Abstract: A method for preparing a scandium-doped hafnium oxide film, includes preparing a hafnium target having scandium granules distributed on a peripheral surface thereof; and proceeding a sputtering process to form a scandium-doped hafnium oxide film on a substrate, wherein the scandium doping of the scandium-doped hafnium oxide film is in the range of 3-13%. Such scandium-doped hafnium oxide film is able to be used as an oxide layer in semiconductor element which effectively suppresses the current leakage and reduces the dimension of the semiconductor element.

  • Publication number: 20100136712
    Abstract: The invention provides a Ti doped lead barium zirconate dielectric material which could be applied to high frequency devices. The material comprises a compound with the chemical formula (PbI-XBaX)(ZrI-YTiY)O3, wherein X is greater than 0.3 and smaller than 1; Y is greater than zero and smaller than 0.5. The said dielectric material is tunable. A method for producing a dielectric film comprises the following steps. Firstly, prepare a Ti doped lead barium zirconate dielectric material by a first process which is one chosen from a group consisting of a solid state process, a coprecipitation process, a sol-gel process, and a hydrothermal process. Secondly, integrate the dielectric material into a target device using a second process to form a dielectric film, wherein the second process is one chosen from a group consisting of a chemical solution deposition process, a sputtering process, a chemical vapor deposition process, and a pulse laser deposition process.
