Abstract: The invention provides substrates coated with a hydrocarbon or fluorocarbon layer. The coated substrate has superior properties such as improved hydrophobicity and/or oleophobicity. Also disclosed are methods of making coatings on substrates using atomic layer deposition (ALD) and/or molecular layer deposition (MLD).

Abstract: A diamond composite particle having a diamond particle and a coating film that coats a surface of the diamond particle, in which the coating film contains a metal oxide, the coating film has an average coating thickness of 0.5 nm or more and 3 nm or less, and a ratio of a standard deviation of a coating thickness to the average coating thickness (standard deviation/average thickness) is 0.6 or less.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a process for coating an oxide material, process comprising: (a) providing a particulate material chosen from lithiated nickel-cobalt aluminum oxides, lithiated cobalt-manganese oxides, and lithiated layered nickel-cobalt-manganese oxides, (b) treating the cathode active material with a metal alkoxide, a metal halide, a metal chloride, a metal amide, or an alkyl metal compound, (c) treating the material obtained in step (b) with a gas containing HF, and, optionally, repeating the sequence of steps (b) and (c), wherein step (b) is carried out in a mechanical mixer, or step (b) is carried out using a moving bed or fixed bed wherein steps (b) and (c) are carried out at a pressure that is in the range of from 5 mbar to 1 bar above ambient pressure.
