First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A cold storage medium, containing: tetra-n-butylammonium ions; silver ions; at least one kind of halide ions selected from the group consisting of fluoride ions, chloride ions, and bromide ions; water; and at least one kind of carboxylic acid ions each represented by the following chemical formula (I), R—COO −   (I) where R represents a hydrocarbon group. 2. The cold storage medium according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one kind of carboxylic acid ions includes two or more kinds of carboxylic acid ions. 3. The cold storage medium according to claim 1 , wherein each of the at least one kind of the carboxylic acid ions has a carbon number of not less than 1 and not more than 10. 4. The cold storage medium according to claim 3 , wherein each of the at least one kind of the carboxylic acid ions has a carbon number of not less than 1 and not more than 7. 5. The cold storage medium according to claim 4 , wherein a molar ratio of the at least one kind of halide ions to the silver ions is not less than 5 and not more than 20. 6. The cold storage medium according to claim 5 , wherein the molar ratio of the at least one kind of halide ions to the silver ions is not less than 7.5 and not more than 15. 7. The cold storage medium according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one kind of carboxylic acid ions is selected from the group consisting of pentanoic acid ions, hexanoic acid ions, heptanoic acid ions, methylbutanoic acid ions, ethylbutanoic acid ions, methylpentanoic acid ions, ethylpentanoic acid ions, propylpentanoic acid ions, methylhexanoic acid ions, ethylhexanoic acid ions, propylhexanoic acid ions, and butylhexanoic acid ions. 8. The cold storage medium according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one kind of carboxylic acid ions is selected from the group consisting of pentanoic acid ions, heptanoic acid ions, methylbutanoic acid ions, and ethylbutanoic acid ions. 9. The cold storage medium according to claim 1 , wherein the cold storage medium has a melting point of not less than 3 degrees Celsius and not more than 10 degrees Celsius. 10. The cold storage medium according to claim 9 , wherein the cold storage medium has a melting point of not less than 4 degrees Celsius and not more than 7 degrees Celsius. 11. The cold storage medium according to claim 9 , wherein the following mathematical formula (II) is satisfied: ΔT≤5 degrees Kelvin  (II) where ΔT represents a temperature difference between the melting point of the cold storage medium and a temperature at which the cold storage medium under a supercooling state begins to crystallize spontaneously. 12. The cold storage medium according to claim 11 , wherein ΔT is not more than 2 degrees Kelvin. 13. The cold storage medium according to claim 11 , wherein the temperature at which the cold storage medium under the supercooling state begins to crystallize spontaneously is not less than 3 degrees Celsius and not more than 7 degrees Celsius.
