Platinum microparticles generator
View Patent ↗A platinum microparticles generator comprises a linear first electrode, a board-shaped second electrode, and an applying means. The first electrode contains at least platinum. The second electrode comprises an outlet opening, which is a circular through-hole, located so as to face one end of the first electrode. The applying means applies a voltage between the first and second electrodes. Then, the first electrode has an outside diameter in a range of 0.03 [mm] to 0.10 [mm]. Further, the outlet opening has an inside diameter in a range of 1.0 [mm] to 4.5 [mm]. Thus, the platinum microparticles generator can emit a sufficient amount of platinum microparticles while restraining generation of ozone.
1. A platinum microparticles generator comprising:
a linear first electrode containing at least platinum;
a board-shaped second electrode comprising an outlet opening, which is a circular through-hole, located so as to face one end of the first electrode; and
an applying means for applying a voltage between the first and second electrodes, wherein the first electrode has an outside diameter in a range of 0.03 [mm] to 0.10 [mm],
wherein the outlet opening has an inside diameter in a range of 1.0 [mm] to 4.5 [mm].
2. The platinum microparticles generator as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said one end of the first electrode has a flat surface being perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the first electrode.
3. The platinum microparticles generator as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the inside diameter of the outlet opening is set to a value in a range of 1.5 [mm] to 2.0 [mm].
4. The platinum microparticles generator as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the inside diameter of the outlet opening is set to a value in a range of 1.5 [mm] to 2.0 [mm].
