20100151153 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR GROWING A COMPOSITE METAL SULPHIDE PHOTOCATALYST THIN FILM - A method and apparatus are provided for growing a composite metal sulphide photcatalyst thin film, wherein photochemical deposition and chemical bath deposition are both performed for growing the composite metal sulphide thin film, such as (AgInS | 06-17-2010 |
20110052835 | Light Induced Electroless Plating - A method and composition for plating metal contacts on photovoltaic solar cells is described. The cell is immersed in an aqueous bath containing platable metal ions and a chemical reducing agent. The cell is then exposed to light, causing the two sides of the cell to become oppositely charged. The metal ions are plated without requiring an external electrical contact, without backside anodic corrosion and without the need for backside sacrificial material. | 03-03-2011 |
20110135846 | ANTIBACTERIAL TREATMENT METHOD FOR FIBER, METHOD FOR PRODUCING ANTIBACTERIAL FIBER AND ANTIBACTERIAL FIBER - Disclosed are a method for the antimicrobial treatment of a fiber and a process for the production of an antimicrobial fiber, each of which is characterized by immersing the fiber in an aqueous solution containing a noble metal ion or a noble metal complex and irradiating the aqueous solution with γ-ray or electron beam. In the method for the antimicrobial treatment of a fiber and the process for the production of an antimicrobial fiber, the noble metal constituting the noble metal ion or the noble metal complex is at least one noble metal selected from the group consisting of gold, silver, platinum, palladium, ruthenium, rhodium, iridium and rhenium. Also disclosed is an antimicrobial fiber produced by the process. | 06-09-2011 |
20120034395 | PROCESSING METHOD - A processing method includes disposing a workpiece having a processed surface in a processing solution, disposing a photocatalyst film in the processing solution opposite the processed surface, irradiating the photocatalyst film with a light, so as to generate active species from the processing solution by a photocatalytic action of the photocatalyst film, controlling a diffusion distance of the active species in the processing solution by a radical scavenger added to the processing solution, and chemically reacting the active species with surface atoms of the processed surface and generating a chemical compound to be eluted in the processing solution, so as to process the workpiece. | 02-09-2012 |
