With a view to realizing a titanium oxide structure that has a large surface area and enables efficient transfer of ions and electrons by virtue of titanium oxide particles connected to one another, an object of the invention is to develop a material useful as an active material for dye-sensitized solar cells, and a process for producing the material; a porous titanium oxide composition and a process for producing the composition; and a photoelectric conversion element comprising the titanium oxide structure or porous titanium oxide composition.

Titanium oxide structure and porous titanium oxide composition

The present invention relates to a resin composition for GHz-band electronic components, the composition comprising nanoscale carbon tubes and at least one member selected from the group consisting of thermoplastic resins, curable resins, and composite resins of thermoplastic resins and curable resins; wherein the nanoscale carbon tubes are present in an amount of 0.0001 to 0.4 wt. % based on the resin; and an electronic component obtainable from the resin composition, or the like.

Resin composition for GHz-band electronic component and GHz-band electronic component

Straight, nano-scale-order amorphous carbon tubes having a long-term stable ability for storing various kinds of gases and being stable in shape, and a novel process for producing said carbon tubes with high purity, high yield and high mass-productivity are provided. The amorphous nano-scale carbon tubes are prepared by subjecting a heat-decomposable resin having a decomposition temperature of 200 to 900&#xb0; C. to an excitation treatment in the presence of a metal powder and/or a metal salt, or by subjecting a carbon material containing &#x2014;C&#x2261;C&#x2014; and/or &#x2550;C&#x2550; to a heat-treatment at 3000&#xb0; C. or lower.

Amorphous nano-scale carbon tube and production method therefor

Disclosed are an iron-carbon composite in which 10 to 90% of the internal space of a nanoflake carbon tube or a nested multi-walled carbon nanotube is filled with iron carbide or iron; a carbonaceous material containing such iron-carbon composites; and a process for preparing the same. The iron-carbon composite is useful for electron emitting materials and other applications.
