Solid-State Battery Coatings
The next generation of lithium batteries is being built on thin ceramic films. Solid-state batteries (SSBs) replace the flammable liquid electrolyte in today's lithium-ion cells with a solid ceramic ion conductor — and the central manufacturing challenge, as leading researchers have framed it, is producing those ceramics as robust films of 1–20 µm, the same thickness class as the polymer separators in conventional cells, without resorting to high-temperature sintering. That challenge is a wet-chemical processing problem. And it is exactly the kind of problem ultrasonic spray deposition was built for.

Solar Cell Coating
Ultrasonic spray deposition of solution-processed photovoltaic layers — organic donor-acceptor absorbers, metal-halide perovskite precursors, TiO₂ and SnO₂ electron-transport layers, hole-transport polymers, and kesterite CZTS films — with the wetting, drying, and surface-chemistry control that turns a sprayed liquid into a device-quality thin film.

Hybrid Perovskite Thermal-Insulation Films
A 2026 Science Advances paper reports spin-cast layered hybrid perovskite films with record-low thermal conductivity (~0.04 W/m·K) and the stiffness of an engineering plastic. Spin coating doesn't scale; ultrasonic spray deposition does. This page and its white paper lay out the process engineering: ink compatibility, gas quenching, roll-to-roll layout, and swirl-gas quench control.

Self-Driving Labs
A self-driving laboratory runs an experiment, measures the result, and decides what to try next without a person in the loop. It is the fastest way anyone has found to search a large materials design space, and it works in microliter volumes on small coupons. The question that follows every campaign is whether the recipes it finds survive the trip to a real coating process. In a 2022 Nature Communications study, a group at the University of British Columbia answered that question with an ultrasonic spray coater. Their self-driving laboratory, Ada, mapped the trade-off between processing temperature and electrical conductivity for palladium films made by combustion synthesis. The recipes it discovered were then spray-coated onto heated glass, and the authors report that the coater was built from a Microspray ultrasonic nozzle operated at 120 kHz.

Ultrasonic Electrospinning
A 2025 US patent from Virginia Commonwealth University, US 12,421,630 B2, shows that a MicroSpray focused ultrasonic spray nozzle, turned tip-up and placed in a high-voltage field, becomes a needle-free electrospinning spinneret. Acoustic vibration forms a standing wave on the polymer meniscus, and fibers jet simultaneously from multiple wave peaks, producing sub-micron polyacrylonitrile fibers without multi-needle spinnerets.
