Mass Production cost of pem fuel cell by learning curve
International Journal of Hydrogen Energy, 2004Co-Authors: H. Tsuchiya, Osamu KobayashiAbstract:A learning curve model has been developed to analyze the Mass Production cost structure of proton exchange membrane fuel cells for automobiles. The fuel cell stack cost is aggregated by the cost of membranes, platinum, electrodes, bipolar plates, peripherals and assembly process. The Mass Production effects on these components are estimated. Nine scenarios with different progress ratios and future power densities are calculated by the learning curve for cumulative Production of 50 000 and 5 million vehicles. The results showed that the fuel cell stack cost could be reduced to the same level as that of an internal combustion engine today, and that the key factors are power density improvement and Mass Production process of bipolar plates and electrodes for reducing total cost of fuel cell stack.

Mass-Production technology for CIGS modules
Solar Energy Materials and Solar Cells, 2009Co-Authors: Kentaro Matsunaga, Takashi Komaru, Tomoyuki Kume, Yuji Nakayama, Yasuhiro SuzukiAbstract:Abstract Thin-film CIGS technologies are now entering the commercialization phase. We applied a unique technology using our established automotive Mass-Production know-how, and launched a commercial Mass-Production line at Honda Soltec Co., Ltd. on October 2007. We achieved a nominal maximum output of 125 W and a module efficiency of 11.15% for a 1417 mm×791 mm module. Honda CIGS photovoltaic systems were installed for inspection in more than 20 locations in Japan, USA and Thailand. Those in Japan (100 kW in Shizuoka Prefecture) and Thailand (6 kW in a suburb of Bangkok) are approximately 5 years old and have shown high reliability and durability.

carbon nanotube Mass Production principles and processes
Chemsuschem, 2011Co-Authors: Qiang Zhang, Jiaqi Huang, Mengqiang Zhao, Weizhong QianAbstract:Our society requires new materials for a sustainable future, and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are among the most important advanced materials. This Review describes the state-of-the-art of CNT synthesis, with a focus on their Mass-Production in industry. At the nanoscale, the Production of CNTs involves the self-assembly of carbon atoms into a one-dimensional tubular structure. We describe how this synthesis can be achieved on the macroscopic scale in processes akin to the continuous tonne-scale Mass Production of chemical products in the modern chemical industry. Our overview includes discussions on processing methods for high-purity CNTs, and the handling of heat and Mass transfer problems. Manufacturing strategies for agglomerated and aligned single-/multiwalled CNTs are used as examples of the engineering science of CNT Production, which includes an understanding of their growth mechanism, agglomeration mechanism, reactor design, and process intensification. We aim to provide guidelines for the Production and commercialization of CNTs. Although CNTs can now be produced on the tonne scale, knowledge of the growth mechanism at the atomic scale, the relationship between CNT structure and application, and scale-up of the Production of CNTs with specific chirality are still inadequate. A multidisciplinary approach is a prerequisite for the sustainable development of the CNT industry.
