“…On the other hand, for chalcopyrite based solar cells, molybdenum exhibits the ideal choice as rear contact [23,24], it occurs on the creation of an additional MoSe2/ CuInSe2 ohmic contact [25] which increases the free carriers'mobility and consequently the electrical conductivity [26]. However, titanium nitride has a considerable electrical conductivity [27,28], hence more, it can be used in the same position than Mo as a back contact. This proposal allows to reduce the thickness of Mo and giving a real economical challenge since titanium is less expensive than molybdenum [29], and yielded to cheaper solar cells.…”

For the first time, a hard wear-resistant multi-layer of TiCrN-TiAlN-TiAlSiN-TiAlSiCN was deposited on carbon steel CK45-based tillage tools to increase their useful lifetime. The layers were deposited by using an arc-PVD method without post-annealing procedures. XRD and EDX data indicated that TiCrN, TiAlN, TiAlSiN, and TiAlSiCN formed individually and as a multi-layer of high-quality crystalline layers with mostly cubic structures. The studies on the multi-layers coating morphology, roughness and hardness gave reasonable results as a roughness of 35 nm and a hardness of 32.2 GPa. The coated sweep duck blade tillage tools were tested on the field along with a soil bin to obtain their wear behavior at different traveling distances. The draft force of all blades showed promising results. As the coated layers were worn off, their draft force increased. In comparison with single-layer coatings, the multi-layer structure demonstrated an increase in the useful lifetime of the blades.

“…Progress in the development of metallic BPPs by coating them with transition metal nitrides was reported in literature , , . Metal nitrides, most notably chromium nitride and titanium nitride , have been investigated, due to their effective corrosion protection and improved interfacial conductivity. Group 4 (periodic table) metal nitrides, namely titanium, are typically used for coatings on cutting tools, due to their hardness and their chemical and thermal stability , .…”

Two materials, polyaniline (PANI) and titanium nitride (TiN), used for bipolar plate (BPP) coatings have each shown promise in improving the corrosion resistance and contact resistance, respectively, of metallic bipolar plates. Polyaniline was shown to provide a barrier for the bipolar plate and to effectively lower the corrosion currents observed in ex situ corrosion tests. However, the interfacial contact resistance (ICR) between polyaniline coatings and gas diffusion layer (GDL) is high and results in high electrical losses. On the other hand, TiN is reported to achieve good conductivity and in some cases improved corrosion resistance. The two materials have also been investigated together in a composite coating and showed promising results, but the contact resistance of the coating was still too high for use in a commercial fuel cell. In this study, the application of an additional layer of TiN over the TiN‐polyaniline composite coating (a bilayer coating) is investigated. Composite bilayered PANI TiN coatings were deposited upon SS316L substrates. The optimized coating achieved U.S. Department of Energy (DoE) targets with potentiostatic corrosion currents of ∼0.024 μA cm−2 and ICR values of 11.2 mΩ cm2. PANI polymerization was confirmed, using Fourier‐transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and TiN loadings were investigated with energy dispersive X‐ray (EDX) spectroscopy .
