The present invention relates, in part, to a discovery of a method for using atomic layer deposition (ALD) to improve the stability of refractory materials in high temperature steam, and compositions produced by the method.

Stability of refractory materials in high temperature steam

The invention relates to lithiated mixed metal compositions having ultrathin film coatings of varying thicknesses on lithium ion sites and on metal oxide sites, wherein the thickness of the ultrathin film at least partially covering the metal oxide sites is greater than the thickness of the ultrathin film at least partially covering the lithium ion sites. Also disclosed is a method for forming the compositions, comprising selectively coating one area of a multi-component substrate. Materials such as mixed metal oxides, for use in lithium battery electrodes, may be improved by a coating which preferentially deposits onto one or more elements in the mixed material but not another.

Thin film coatings on mixed metal oxides

Methods of flash sintering have been developed in which particle are initially coated with thin layers by atomic layer deposition (ALD). Examples are provided in which 8 mol % yttria-stabilized zirconia (8YSZ) particles are coated with small quantities of AlOby particle atomic layer deposition (ALD). Sintered materials that result from the process have been characterized. Sintered materials having unique characteristics are also described.

Process for improving flash sintering of ceramics and improved ceramics

Disclosed herein is a ceramic particle comprising a core substrate chosen from yttria-stabilized zirconia, partially stabilized zirconia, zirconium oxide, aluminum nitride, silicon nitride, silicon carbide, and cerium oxide, and a conformal coating of a sintering aid film having a thickness of less than three nanometers and covering the core substrate, and methods for producing the ceramic particle.

Performance of technical ceramics

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide novel compositions, methods of use and methods for single composition, multi-dose, thermostable vaccine formulations. In certain embodiments, the present disclosure provides compositions and methods for dehydrating immunogenic agents in the presence of glass-forming agents, and coating the particles formed by the glass-forming agents. In other embodiments, the present disclosure provides for generating compositions for administering an immunogenic composition to a subject multiple times using a single immunogenic composition capable of time-release administration. In other embodiments, single-dose immunogenic agent-containing particles can be directed to two or more pathogens. In other embodiments, incompatible immunogenic agents against two or more different pathogens of immunogenic agent-containing particles disclosed herein can be mixed together and coated for timed-release administration to produce single-administration formulations capable of eliciting an immune response to the two or more pathogens in a subject.

Compositions and methods for making and using thermostable immunogenic formulations with increased compatibility of use as vaccines against one or more pathogens

A method for forming an oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalyst () may include providing a carbon () supported platinum nanoparticle () substrate (Pt/C) () and applying a tungsten nitride (WN) film () onto the surface of the Pt/C substrate () using atomic layer deposition (ALD) (). The Pt/C substrate () with the WN film () may then be oxidized at a low temperature () and annealed at a high temperature in order to reduce WN to metallic tungsten (W) (). The metallic W forms a blocking layer () over coarse Pt nanoparticles () and improves the activity and the durability of the Pt/C catalyst () when used in fuel cells or related applications.
