Title: Kiyoshi Aoki: Innovator in Hydrogen Technology
Introduction
Kiyoshi Aoki is a prominent inventor based in Hokkaido, Japan. He has made significant contributions to the field of hydrogen technology, holding a total of 6 patents. His work focuses on developing advanced materials and systems for hydrogen permeation and separation.
Latest Patents
One of Aoki's latest patents is a hydrogen permeation/separation thin membrane. This innovative membrane includes a Ni–Ti–Nb alloy, which is a cast foil material obtained through roll quenching and a refining heat treatment. The membrane boasts a thickness of 0.07 mm or less. The Ni–Ti–Nb alloy consists of 10 to 47 atomic % of Nb, 20 to 52 atomic % of Ti, and a remainder containing 20 to 48 atomic % of Ni along with inevitable impurities. The alloy structure features fine particles of a Nb-based solid solution alloy, which are dispersed in a basic structure made of a Ni–Ti(Nb) intermetallic compound.
Another notable patent is the hydrogen permeable module and its usage. This module includes a hydrogen permeable membrane that allows hydrogen to permeate. The outer peripheral part of the membrane is restricted, while the inside is not, enabling it to expand towards the secondary side. The module operates by maintaining a primary side pressure that is equal to or greater than that of the secondary side.
Career Highlights
Aoki has worked with reputable organizations, including The Japan Steel Works, Ltd. and the National University Corporation Kitami Institute of Technology. His experience in these institutions has contributed to his expertise in materials science and hydrogen technology.
