Abstract:

Processes are disclosure which comprise alternately contacting an oxygen-carrying catalyst with a reducing substance, or a lower partial pressure of an oxidizing gas, and then with the oxidizing gas or a higher partial pressure of the oxidizing gas, whereby the catalyst is alternately reduced and then regenerated to an oxygenated state. In certain embodiments, the oxygen-carrying catalyst comprises at least one metal oxide-containing material containing a composition having the following formulas: (a) CeBB′B″O, wherein B=Ba, Sr, Ca, or Zr; B′=Mn, Co, and/or Fe; B″=Cu; 0. 01

Abstract:

Embodiments related to chemical vapor deposition of aluminum nitride onto surfaces are provided. In particular, methods are provided for coating AlN onto solid surfaces by heating and vaporizing an aluminum nitride precursor and exposing solid surfaces to the heated and vaporized aluminum nitride precursor. In an embodiment, the aluminum nitride precursor is AlCl(NH), wherein x=1-6. In an embodiment, the surface is a metallic substrate, such as a silicon, aluminum nitride, steel, aluminum, molybdenum and manganese. In an embodiment, the surface is steel that is nitrided to form an iron nitride layer on which AlN is deposited.
