Applications for Vanadiumnitrid Vapour Deposition Materials
Wear-resistant coatings: VN coatings are applied to cutting tools, drills and machine components to increase wear resistance and thereby extend component service life under demanding processing conditions.
Decorative coatings: VN coatings, which have a metallic lustre and a gold-like appearance, are used for decorative purposes on consumer goods such as jewellery, watches and architectural fittings.
Corrosion protection: VN coatings are applied to protect metal surfaces from corrosion in harsh environments, for example in shipping and aerospace, where corrosion resistance is essential for prolonged service life.
Optical coatings: VN thin films are employed as optical coatings for lenses, mirrors and filters in optical systems, given their high reflectance and low absorption in the infrared spectrum.
Electrodes for electrochemical applications: VN is being investigated for use as electrodes in electrochemical devices such as supercapacitors and batteries, owing to its high electrical conductivity and stability in corrosive electrolytes.
Catalysis: VN nanoparticles are evaluated as catalysts in various chemical reactions, including ammonia synthesis, hydrogenation and oxygen reduction, due to their unique surface properties and catalytic activity.
Sensors: VN thin films are integrated into gas sensors and humidity sensors. They exhibit sensitivity to specific gases and moisture levels, thereby facilitating the detection and monitoring of environmental conditions in industrial and consumer applications.
