摘要:
The durability of a polymer electrolyte fuel cell is very significantly improved by using a tightening pressure of about 2 to 4 kgf/cm2 of area of electrode; or a tightening pressure of about 4 to 8 kgf/cm2 of contact area between electrode and separator plate; or by selecting a value not exceeding about 1.5 mS/cm2 for the short-circuit conductivity attributed to the DC resistance component in each unit cell; or by selecting a value not exceeding about 3 mA/cm2 for the hydrogen leak current per area of electrode of each MEA. Further, in a method of manufacturing or an inspection method for a polymer electrolyte fuel cell stack, fuel cells having high durability can be efficiently manufactured by removing such MEAs or unit cells using such MEAs or such cell stacks having short-circuit conductivity values and/or hydrogen leak current values exceeding predetermined values, respectively.

摘要:
The present invention provides methods for detecting a working condition of a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery which allow easy and accurate determination of the degree of degradation and remaining capacity of the non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery by a simple test irrespective of the past charging and discharging history of the battery. In the methods of the present invention, the degree of degradation of battery is quantitatively determined on the basis of the voltage value in charging or discharging at a constant current, or from an equation with that voltage value as variable.

The catalysis layer includes a catalyst, an electrically conductive substance, a hydrogen ion-conductive electrolytic substance, and a carbon monoxide oxidizer. As the carbon monoxide oxidizer, for example, particles of a transition metal oxide, chloride, or hydride are used.

摘要:
The electro-migration of electrode metal takes place under an elevated temperature condition in amorphous silicon devices having conventional PI-type, NI-type, or PIN-type hydrogenated amorphous silicon layered structures, which substantially degrades the electrical characteristics of the devices. This problem is solved by forming a chemically inactive layer consisting mainly of amorphous silicon oxide on the surface of amorphous silicon layer by an aqueous washing and drying process, to establish electrical contacts through the chemically inactive layer between the hydrogenated amorphous silicon layer and either a collector electrode or a transparent electrode. This structure not only prevents such electromigration of electrode metal, but it also allows a greater freedom for choosing a material for the collector electrode.
