次世代のクリーン自動車として注目されている燃料電池ハイブリッド車の開発状況を紹介する。1996年に発表したトヨタFCHVの特徴は、トヨタで新たに開発した水素吸蔵合金を用いたことにある。また、1997年に発表したトヨタFCHVは、世界初のメタノール改質型の燃料電池自動車である。こうした実験車の開発と平行してコンポーネントの開発が進められており、1999年に発表した燃料電池スタックは、体積65リットルで、定格出力70kWを得ている。FCHVの実用化に向けては、技術課題の解決だけでなく、燃料選定、燃料インフラの整備、標準化、安全基準の整備なども必要となっている。

[Abstract]

An introduction is given to the developmental state of the fuel cell hybrid automobile in the spotlight as the next generation clean automobile. The salient feature of Toyota’s FCHV introduced in 1996 was the utilization of a hydrogen storage alloy newly developed at Toyota. Additionally, the FCHV that was presented in 1997 was the world’s first reformed methanol fuel cell automobile. The development of the components paralleled the development of these experimental automobiles and the fuel cell stack that came out in 1999 had a capacity of 65 liters and a rated output of 70kW. Working toward practical application of FCHV not only requires solving technical problems but also entails the selection of fuel, the development of a fuel infrastructure, standardization and the setting of safety standards.

窒化ケイ素（Si3N4）材料はレシプロエンジン部品に採用されてきたが、新たな応用のために高強度、高靭性の両立、高熱伝導化といった新機構の発現が望まれている。本研究では、β‐Si3N4柱状粒子を新たに合成させ、柱状粒子が一軸方向に高度に配向した、異方的組織を有するSi3N4焼結体の製作を行い、配向焼結体の機械的熱的特性と微構造の相関を明らかにした。その結果、この配向焼結体は、高強度、高靭性を合せ持ち、さらには高熱伝導率を発現した。

[Abstract]

Silicon nitride (Si3N4) materials have heretofore been used in reciprocal engine components but finding new structures combining high strength and high toughness and with high thermal conductivity for new applications is desirable. In this research, a sintered Si3N4 having an anisotropic structure in which the β- Si3N4 columnar particles have been newly synthesized and the columnar particles are oriented to a high degree in one axis direction has been manufactured and the correlation between the mechanical and thermal characteristics and the microstructure of the oriented sintered compact has been uncovered. As a result, this oriented sintered compact combines high strength with high toughness and has demonstrated high thermal conductivity.
