Title: Innovations of Yoshihiko Hibi in Nano-Carbon Technology

Introduction

Yoshihiko Hibi is a notable inventor based in Toyohashi, Japan. He has made significant contributions to the field of nano-carbon technology, holding 2 patents that focus on innovative methods for producing and patterning nano-carbon materials.

Latest Patents

Hibi's latest patents include a method for producing nano-carbon and composite materials that contain nano-carbon and metal fine particles. This patent describes a method of preparing nano-carbon and an apparatus for creating an electron emitting source by supporting the generated soot. The process involves using a torch electrode of an arc torch as a first electrode, placed opposite to a material to be arced, with graphite serving as the second electrode. A voltage is applied to generate an arc discharge, which evaporates the edge portion of the material, producing soot that is then deposited on a substrate through a patterned mask.

Another significant patent focuses on the manufacturing of nano-tubes. This method allows for the instantaneous formation of nano-tubes on the surface of an arc-treated material, primarily composed of graphite, without the need for a processing container. The arc discharge is generated between a torch electrode and the arc-treated material, with a mask ensuring that only specific areas are exposed to the arc, resulting in the formation of nano-tubes.
