The invention is related to a soft-magnetic powder comprising coated particles, the coated particles comprising a core and a shell, the core having an average particle size Din a range from 0.1 μm to 100 μm and comprising iron, wherein the shell has a thickness of not more than 20 nm and comprises at least two solid oxides and wherein the shell comprises at least three layers and the shell comprises more than one layers of a first solid oxide and at least one layer of a second solid oxide, wherein the more than one layers of the first solid oxide and the at least one layer of the second solid oxide are arranged in an alternating manner. The invention is further related to a process for the production of the soft-magnetic powder, a use of the soft-magnetic powder and an electronic component comprising the soft-magnetic powder.

Soft-magnetic powder comprising coated particles

A process for making an at least partially coated electrode active material may involve, with an electrode active material of formula LiTMO, wherein TM is a combination of Ni, Co and, optionally, Mn, and, optionally, at least one metal selected from Al, Ti and Zr, and x is in the range of from 0 to 0.2, treating the electrode active material with at least one compound of W or Mo that bears at least one group or ion that is replaced or displaced when such compound reacts with the surface of the electrode active material particle, treating the surface-reacted material with an agent to decompose the compound of W or Mo, repeating the sequence 1 to 100 times, wherein the average thickness of the resulting coating is in the range of from 0.1 to 50 nm.

Process for making an at least partially coated electrode active material

Glass frits, conductive inks and articles having conductive inks applied thereto are described. According to one or more embodiments, glass frits with no intentionally added lead comprise TeOand one or more of BiO, SiOand combinations thereof. One embodiment of the glass frit includes BO, and can further include ZnO, AlOand/or combinations thereof. One embodiment provides for conductive inks which include a glass frit with no intentionally added lead and comprising TeOand one or more of BiO, SiOand combinations thereof. Another embodiment includes articles with substrates such as semiconductors or glass sheets, having conductive inks disposed thereto, wherein the conductive ink includes glass frits having no intentionally added lead.

Glass frits

Frits, obscuration enamel compositions including frits and automotive windshields having obscuration enamel compositions applied thereto are described. According to one or more embodiments, the obscuration enamel composition comprises a paste component and a frit component having BiO, SiOand BOand being substantially free of NaO. In other embodiments, a reducing agent is included in the frit component. Obscuration enamels of some embodiments have a total solids content of at least 80% by weight.
