Described here is a powder comprising a plurality of lithium-containing particles having a dry, uniform protective layer, wherein the protective layer of the particles is obtained by a sequential vapor phase reaction or adsorption process. Also described is a battery comprising an anode layer and a cathode layer, wherein the cathode layer comprises lithium metal oxide or a lithium metal phosphate, wherein the metal comprises at least one of Nickel, Manganese, Cobalt, Iron, Titanium, and/or Manganese, wherein the cathode particles have a dry, uniform protective layer, and wherein the anode layer comprises lithium titanium oxide particles.

Method for covering particles, especially a battery electrode material particles, and particles obtained with such method and a battery comprising such particle

The invention provides a slow-release material comprising particles, wherein the particles comprise a core comprising an active component and a multilayer shell, wherein the multi-layer shell comprises a molecular layer deposition (MLD) multi-layer, wherein the active component comprises one or more of a pharmaceutical compound and a nutraceutical compound, for use in the treatment of a disease.

Controlled release from particles encapsulated by molecular layer deposition

The invention provides a process for depositing a coating onto particles being pneumatically transported in a tube. The process comprising the steps of providing a tube having an inlet opening and an outlet opening; feeding a carrier gas entraining particles into the tube at or near the inlet opening of the tube to create a particle flow through the tube; and injecting a first self-terminating reactant into the tube via at least one injection point downstream from the inlet opening of the tube for reaction with the particles in the particle flow. The process is suitable for atomic layer deposition and molecular layer deposition. An apparatus for carrying out the process is also disclosed.

Apparatus and process for atomic or molecular layer deposition onto particles during pneumatic transport

A method for covering particles having a diameter of maximally 60 &#x3bc;m by means of atomic layer deposition, whereby said method comprises the step of fluidizing said particles in a fluidized bed reactor using a first reactant gas comprising a first reactant for substantially completely covering said particles with a monolayer of said first reactant.

The invention is directed to a process and apparatus for preparing coated particles, in particular a process for preparing particles that are coated with small particles using electrospraying. The coated particles produced according to the present invention find use for instance as catalysts or as pharmaceuticals. According to the invention a host particle is contacted in a gas stream where it is allowed to contact with one or more moving tribocharging particles, thus providing a charged host particle, which is subsequently contacted with charged guest particles in an electrospraying step.
