A fuel cell is disclosed. The fuel cell can include a membrane electrode assembly (MEA), converting a chemical energy to an electrical energy; a first end plate, stacked on one surface of the MEA and formed with a first coupling hole; a second end plate, stacked on the other surface of the MEA; and a protrusion, formed on the second end plate such that the protrusion penetrates the first coupling hole and an end part of the protrusion protrudes a surface of the first end plate, and the end part being transformed such that the end part couples the first end plate and the second end plate. With the present invention, the fuel cell can reduce contact resistance between elements and its overall size and prevent a leak of fuel. In the manufacturing process, the end plates and the MEA can be arranged, improving reproducibility and repetition for mass production.

A hydrogen generating apparatus can include an absorbent layer that absorbs an aqueous solution, a metal membrane deposited on either side of the absorbent layer such that the absorbent layer is interposed between the metal membranes, and a support layer formed on one side of one of the metal membranes that transports hydrogen generated by a reaction between the aqueous solution and the metal membrane. A batch type reaction may thus be implemented between the aqueous solution and the metal membranes, so that the reaction can be controlled to provide an even rate of hydrogen generation. Possible disturbances to the reaction resulting from by-products can be prevented, and since there is no additional equipment required, the volume and weight of the fuel cell power generation system can be reduced, and the extra power consumption by the additional equipment can be avoided.

A fuel cell and a method of manufacturing the fuel cell are disclosed. A method of manufacturing a fuel cell by electrically connecting a first cell and a second cell that are coupled over both sides of a membrane with a predetermined gap between the first cell and the second cell, where the first cell and the second cell each has an anode on one side and a cathode on the other side, may include perforating a hole in the membrane between the first cell and the second cell, and electrically connecting the anode of the first cell with the cathode of the second cell through the hole using a conductive member. This method does not entail unnecessary increases in volume or complicated flow paths, and the method can reduce electrical resistance while simplifying the peripheral equipment.

The present invention relates to a multi-layer ceramic capacitor printed simultaneously with internal electrode and external electrode by employing an inkjet printing. A method for manufacturing the multi-layer ceramic capacitor comprising first external electrode, dielectric, internal electrode and second external electrode prints simultaneously the first external electrode; the internal electrode which is connected with the first external electrode and formed at an invaginated portion of the dielectric invaginated to allow one side to be opened at one portion; and the second external electrode which is formed integrally with the internal electrode by employing an inkjet printing. According to the present invention, a method for manufacturing the multi-layer ceramic capacitor resolves contact problems by printing integrally the internal electrode and the external electrode and reduces the manufacturing process.

Multi-layer ceramic capacitor and production method thereof

The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing cubic copper nanoparticles, and in particular, to a method including (a) mixing and agitating a copper precursor and an amine compound; (b) raising the temperature of the mixed solution up to 90-170&#xb0; C. and reacting it at the same temperature; (c) adding the mixture to nonaqueous solvent to lower the temperature of the solution to 20-50&#xb0; C. when the incubation completes; and (d) precipitating and obtaining the nanoparticles by adding an alcohol solvent to the mixture. According to the invention, while conductive wiring is formed metal nanoparticles can be manufactured not in sphere but in cubic shape so that void between particles can be efficiently removed and the height of wiring can be raised.

Method for manufacturing cubic copper or copper oxide nanoparticles

The present invention provides metal nanoparticles, containing copper core and thin layer of precious metals enclosing the core to prevent oxidization of copper, in which manufacturing the metal nanoparticles is economical efficiency because of increased copper content and since such metal nanoparticles contain a metal having high electrical conductivity such as silver for a thin layer, they can form a wiring having better conductivity than copper and there is little concern that silver migration may occur.
