The present invention relates to a production and a usage of a functional
substance of a fine powder of nanometer size, and to an improved
treatment device of the functional substance and an improved applied
device of a functional product, further, to a weight reduction of a
device using the functional substance and a production cost reduction.
The functional product uses a functional product means in which a fine
functional powder of nanometer size or a fine functional powder of
nanometer size packed together using a coating material is made into a
solid or granular membrane. A treatment device of a functional substance
comprises: single or plural of treatment container means which is a
pressure-resistant container provided with a flange, a jacket and a
temperature control section; a hydrogen filling means having a deaerating
device and a hydrogen storage and release device which are mounted on
said pressure-resistance container; a heating and cooling device having a
heating device and a cooling device which are mounted on each of said
pressure-resistant container and said hydrogen storage and release
device; and an electric control means for automatically controlling said
treatment container, said hydrogen filling means and said heating and
cooling means. A storage device for a functional product comprises a
energy conversion and storage means for sealing and storing a functional
product, which has been subjected to a reduction and a hydrogenation of a
functional substance using natural or regenerable energy, in a waterproof
container or bag. A molded product, a painting material, a coating
material and a grouting material using said functional product comprises
a catalytic means in which a material, a binder and a functional
catalytic product are mixed and dispersed. A hydrogen solvent using said
functional product comprises a hydrogen solution means in which a
functional product of a hydrogenated functional substance is mixed with a
granular, solid or viscous medicine, food or adhesive membrane material,
or is filled in a container. A hydrogen utilization device using said
functional product comprises: a hydrogen discharge means comprising a
hydrogen generating container on which a functional product consisting of
a functional hydrogenated substance is mounted; a hydrogen storage and
release means comprising a hydrogen storage container using a hydrogen
storage substance on which a heating device is attached; a hydrogen
generating means for reacting said functional product of said hydrogen
discharge means with liquid water to form a metal hydride and to generate
a hydrogen gas from a hydrolysis; a row material water supply means for
supplying the hydrogen gas generated by said hydrogen generating means to
a hydrogen utilization body and applying water being compounded with
oxygen to said hydrogen generating means; and an electric control means
containing a detection system; wherein these means are constructed in a
unit. A gas sensor using said functional product comprises: a composite
element means comprising a gas reactant on which a measuring junction of
a thermoelectric couple and a functional product are mounted; a
detachable means for storing said composite element means in a detachable
container; and an electric control means comprising an electric control
unit consisting of a power source for controlling said composite element
means, a Thomson effect control system and a Seebeck effect control
system and the like. A secondary battery using said functional product
comprises: an electrode means formed by using a functional product of an
active substance and a low-temperature plastic coating material; and an
unifying means bonding power generating elements comprising a negative
electrode, a positive electrode and a separation membrane of said
electrode means and covering the elements with an insulation membrane. A
fuel cell or reversible fuel cell in which said functional product is
used in a MEA (Membrane Electrode Assembly) plate comprises: a MEA
(Membrane Electrode Assembly) plate means in which a MEA (Membrane
Electrode Assembly) is formed on one side of a plate formed with a
corrugated portion; a stacking means stacking a single body of said MEA
(Membrane Electrode Assembly) plate, a MEA (Membrane Electrode Assembly)
cassette in which two of said MEA (Membrane Electrode Assembly) plates
are stacked, or the MEA (Membrane Electrode assembly) cassettes; and a
sealing means covering said single body of MEA (Membrane Electrode
Assembly) plate or said MEA (Membrane Electrode Assembly) cassette with a
coating material, or, bonding the periphery of said stacked MEA (Membrane
Electrode Assembly) cassettes, sealing and separating an inside of a
positive electrode or a negative electrode and providing nozzles for a
fluid of two passages. Accordingly, the present invention provides the
following advantages. A fine powder of a metal hydride and a metal powder
made by a reduction of a metal compound can be produced at low cost. Even
when a fine powder of an activated functional substance is exposed in air
for a long period, it is safe and firing and poisoning do not occur. This
solves a conventional problem. And, the product can be easily mounted
various devices with low cost. In addition, by producing magnesium
hydride using natural or renewable energy, it makes possible to convert
the energy into a high-density safe substance and to store and transport.
Furthermore, a large quantity of hydrogen can be supplied to a hydrogen
utilization body. And, a long-lived gas sensor, secondary cell and the
like can be obtained.
