摘要:
Output properties of a fuel cell can be improved by using a single cell structure 1387 having an anode 102 and an oxidizing agent electrode 108 in both sides of a solid electrolyte membrane 114 and an evaporation inhibiting layer 1388 covering the surface of the cathode 108 which is not in contact with the solid electrolyte membrane 114.

Even when a temperature is lowered, a temperature of a fuel cell is raised, thereby improving the availability. In a fuel cell 1311, a combustion unit 1303 is provided in contact with a unit cell structure 101. In addition, a fuel tank 1309 is provided in contact with a fuel electrode 102 constituting the unit cell structure 101 and supplies a fuel 124 to the fuel electrode 102 directly. A part of the fuel 124 is supplied to the combustion unit 1303 from an combustion fuel discharging exit 1315 provided in the fuel tank 1309 via a combustion fuel supply pipe 1313.

[Problems] Miniaturization and weight-saving of a fuel cell including a plurality of unit cells are intended together with higher integration of the unit cells. [Means for Solving Problems] A pair of electrode sheet 100a, 100b, each having a plurality of fuel electrodes 110a, 110b or a plurality of oxidant electrodes 112a, 112b supported by a resin section 102, are disposed on a single plane on the respective surfaces of a solid electrolyte membrane 105 to configure a plurality of unit cells. The fuel electrode and the oxidant electrode of the adjacent two unit cells existing on the respective surfaces of the solid electrolyte membrane are connected in series by using an electroconductive member penetrating the solid electrolyte membrane. Since the electroconductive member 108 extends along the stacking direction of the cell, no excess space is required to achieve the miniaturization of the fuel cell.

A filter 900 is disposed at an opening part of a fuel container 811. The filter 900 is constituted by disposing a carbon dioxide permselective membrane on a vapor separation membrane. The filter 900 selectively transmits carbon dioxide in a fuel 124 to emit the carbon dioxide out of a fuel cell system This structure efficiently prevents the occurrence of the phenomena that carbon dioxide adheres to the fuel electrode 102, which is a cause of a reduction in cell efficiency and the generation of carbon dioxide increases pressure, which is a cause of breakage of the fuel container 811.

摘要:
Nanocarbon is produced stably in a large amount. In a production chamber (107), a graphite rod (101) having a cylindrical shape is fixed to a rotation apparatus (115) and is made capable of rotating with its axis being in the length direction of the graphite rod (101) and movable to the right or the left in the length direction. A side surface of the graphite rod (101) is irradiated with a laser beam (103) from a laser light source (111). A nanocarbon collecting chamber (119) is disposed in the direction of generation of plumes (109) so as to collect the generated carbon nanohorn aggregates 117.
摘要:
An apparatus for manufacturing carbon nanohorns includes a production chamber configured to irradiate a solid carbon material with a laser beam to produce a product containing carbon nanohorns; and a separation mechanism configured to separate the product produced in the production chamber into a lightweight component and a heavyweight component. The heavyweight component includes carbon nanohorn aggregate with high purity, and high-purity carbon nanotubes can be obtained by collecting the heavyweight component.

The operability of a fuel cell which uses a fuel cartridge housing a liquid fuel is improved. A fuel cartridge 1400 houses a liquid fuel 124. The fuel cartridge 1400 includes a gas-liquid separation film 1408 which divides a fuel housing section 1402 into a liquid housing chamber 1402a and a gas housing chamber 1402b. A fuel gas, which is the vaporized liquid fuel, is housed in the gas housing chamber 1402b. A gas exhaust pipe 1410 is connected to the gas housing chamber 1402b, and the fuel gas housed in the gas housing chamber 1402b is discharged to outside the fuel cartridge 1400 via a gas discharge port 1414.
摘要:
A fuel cartridge in a fuel cell is constructed so as to be removably mounted to a fuel cell body. The fuel cartridge is constructed so that a high-concentration fuel tank and a mixing tank are detachably connected at a fitting section. A low-concentration fuel, a recovered fuel recovered from a fuel container, and a high-concentration fuel in the high-concentration fuel tank are mixed in the mixing tank to be a fuel at a predetermined concentration of fuel component, and then the fuel is supplied to the fuel container.
