Ultrasonic Spray Coating For Advanced Energy Applications

Using high-frequency sound waves to atomize liquids, Cheersonic ultrasonic nozzle systems are well suited to the deposition of nanoparticles in suspension for a number of reasons. The ultrasonic nozzles’ large orifice and ultrasonic vibration make it possible to atomize high solids materials without clogging. The technology is ideally suited for suspended solids that tend to agglomerate, as agglomerations are broken up during liquid delivery by the same ultrasonic vibrations causing atomization.

Therefore, the dispersion of particles in solution is highly uniform throughout the entire coating process, providing the most homogenous coatings possible. Often in the case of advanced energy applications such as carbon catalyst coatings onto fuel cells and electrochemically active coatings onto solar cells, the greater the homogeneity and uniformity of the coating, the higher the cell efficiency and conductivity of the substrate. An added major benefit is the decreased waste and overspray of raw materials in the form of expensive metal solutions due to the non-clogging nature of the atomized spray.
