  • Patent number: 9903981
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a laminated body containing at least (a) a transparent substrate, (b) a first metal layer that is overlaid on the substrate and forms an electrode, and (c) a second metal layer having a light reflectance of 20% or less, in which the second metal layer is overlaid on the surface of the first metal layer opposite to the substrate or between the first metal layer and the substrate by sputtering using a reactive sputtering gas, and the second metal layer is constituted by an oxide or nitride of a Cu alloy containing at least Zn.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8748040
    Abstract: A negative electrode active material for a lithium secondary battery, which includes a composition including Si in an amount of from 30% to 65% by mass of the negative electrode active material, includes a two phase matrix structure including an Sn—Cu based alloy matrix including an Sn content of 50% by mass or more of the Sn—Cu based alloy matrix, Si crystallites dispersed in the Sn—Cu based alloy matrix, and an Si—X based alloy crystallized so as to at least partially cover the Si crystallites, in which X is at least one element selected from Fe, Ni, and Co, and is added in an amount of 1% by mass or more of the negative electrode active material.

  • Patent number: 8715857
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a negative electrode active material including an Si—Sn—Fe—Cu based alloy, in which an Si phase has an area ratio in a range of from 35 to 80% in the entire negative electrode active material, the Si phase is dispersed in a matrix phase, the matrix phase contains an Si—Fe compound phase crystallized around the Si phase and further contains an Sn—Cu compound phase crystallized to surround the Si phase and the Si—Fe compound phase, the Si—Fe compound phase is crystallized in a ratio of from 35 to 90% in terms of an area ratio in the entire matrix phase, and the matrix phase further contains an Sn phase unavoidably crystallized in the matrix phase in a ratio of 15% or less in terms of an area ratio in the entire matrix phase.
