Lanthanum Nickel Oxide Sputtering Targets and Applications

Lanthanum nickel oxide with the chemical formula of LaNiO3 is an important perovskite-type oxide with metallic conductivity.
Lanthanum nickel oxide is a ternary compound with unique chemical and physical properties. It shows an extended range of oxygen-deficient compositions, an uncommon intrinsic n-type metallic conductance, a perovskite crystal structure and thermal and chemical stability. These characteristics make LNO a technologically important perovskite oxide electrode in many potential applications such as ferroelectric thin film capacitors, solid oxide fuel cells, nonvolatile ferroelectric random access memories and multilayer actuators.
Furthermore, LNO films have potential to be used as oxygen pressure and ethanol active sensing layers. Also, the reduced La–Ni mixed oxides are reported to be good catalyst precursors to synthesized organic compounds and to grow large amounts of regular diameter distribution controlled carbon nanotubes. Different chemical and physical thin film deposition techniques have been used to prepare LNO on various substrates. Chemical methods such as chemical vapor deposition, metallo-organic chemical vapor deposition and chemical solution deposition have been used to prepare LNO films. Physical methods such as sputtering, pulsed laser deposition and mist plasma evaporation have also been reported. Wet chemical solution deposition techniques provide simple and versatile alternative methods for thin film preparation.
As a summary we can state that lanthanum nickel oxide forms films with excellent properties and ths compound is one of the promising candidates of the oxide electrodes for thin-film ferroelectric devices. Also in fuel cells lanthanum nickel oxide sputtering targets can be used. If you need lanthanum nickel oxide for your research needs, you can click the links given below and give an order.

Multi Walled Carbon Nanotube Dispersions

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs)  have attracted enormous attention in recent years due to its unique physical, electronic, optical and potential applications in materials science and nanotechnology. The van der Waals interaction between tubes, however, makes CNTs aggregate in most organic solvents and aqueous solutions, which is the major limitation of their practical applications.Various approaches have been studied to alter the CNT surface to promote the dispersion of individual nanotubes and prevent their reaggregation. On the basis of this widely accepted viewpoint, numerous techniques such as covalent bonding, surfactant coating and polymer wrapping have been developed for surface modification or sidewall functionalization.These methods, however, are complicated, time-consuming and cause permanent damage to the CNT structure and properties of the surface, which produces residues of the dispersion agent for the final product.

Carbon Nanotube Threads

Since its discovery, carbon nanotube (CNT) has attracted many interests in different technology fields due to its extraordinary properties. Properties such as, high strength, great electrical and thermal conductivity, light weight and flexibility made CNT one of the best materials for wide range of applications. However, from its name it can be understood that CNT is a nanoscale material which is very small to be applied for the production of daily products. Researchers all around the world are working on finding methods and techniques which could produce new materials with the extraordinary properties of CNT. Image retrieved from:  https://worldindustrialreporter.com/strong-light-flexible-carbon-nanotubes-threads-with-ultrahigh-conductivity/ One of these research is focusing on the production of high strength threads that can be used in the manufacturing of fabrics, cables and ropes. An international group of scientists were able to produce a flexible conductive thread that i
