Abstract:
An object of the present invention is to produce a member useful for preventing edible oil from degrading by performing simple, economical, and safe steps.A method for producing an edible oil degradation-preventing member, comprising the steps of: (1) forming titanium nitride on the surface of a metallic titanium material or titanium alloy material by one treatment method selected from the group consisting of a heat treatment under an ammonia gas atmosphere and a heat treatment under a nitrogen gas atmosphere, at a heating temperature of 750° C. or higher; (2) anodizing the metallic titanium material or titanium alloy material with the titanium nitride formed on the surface thereof obtained in step (1) by applying a voltage of 10 V or more in an electrolyte solution having no etching effect on titanium, thereby forming a titanium oxide film; and (3) heating the metallic titanium material or titanium alloy material with the titanium oxide film formed on the surface thereof obtained in step (2) at a temperature of 400° C. or higher in an atmosphere selected from an air atmosphere, a mixed atmosphere of oxygen gas and nitrogen gas, and an oxygen gas atmosphere.
Abstract:
A dye-sensitized solar cell with high photoelectric conversion efficiency and excellent durability is provided.The dye-sensitized solar cell comprises a photoelectrode and a counter electrode that are disposed opposite to each other via an electrolyte layer; (1) the photoelectrode comprising a metal titanium material or titanium alloy material, and a semiconductor layer formed on the metal titanium material or titanium alloy material, the semiconductor layer containing a dye sensitizing agent; (2) the counter electrode comprising a metal titanium material or titanium alloy material coated with an electrochemical-reduction catalyst layer; (3) a light irradiation means being disposed between the photoelectrode and the counter electrode.
