Lorad was established in 1998. Since then, Lorad has become a recognized leader in the research, development, and manufacture of specialty inorganic materials for many advanced science applications. We custom synthesize materials and develop novel, cost-effective manufacturing processes for our products. From research and development to pilot production, all the way through commercialization, we can apply the appropriate chemistry, tools, and technology to assist you.

Let's look at just a few of our accomplishments:

Pioneered continuous processes for the manufacture of sulfides, carbonates, oxides/hydroxides, phosphates as nano-powders and nano-composites. Multi-kg quantities available.
Developed a New Process for manufacturing Oxide nano-powders. This is a very flexible process. We can synthesize materials such as:
- Yttrium Aluminum Garnet: Neodymium doped (YAG:Nd)
- Yttrium Aluminum Garnet: Cerium doped (YAG:Ce)
- Magnesium Aluminate (MgAl₂O₄ spinel)
- Gadolinium Gallium Garnet (GGG)
- Nano-composites and much more at <100nm for a host of commercial applications. (multi-kg quantities available)
Developed new procedures for manufacturing Fluorides such as:
- Gallium Fluoride (GaF₃)
- Aluminum Fluoride (AlF₃)
Developed new methods for manufacturing vanadium materials for lithium ion batteries such as:
- Vandium Pentoxide (V₂O₅ gel routes)
- Lithium Vanadium Oxide (LiV₃O₈)
- Silver Vandium Oxide (Ag₂V₄O₁₁)
Developed many methods for synthesizing sulfides, including several as nano-powders for applications as diverse as phosphors/LED, battery, photovoltaic, thermoelectric, catalyst and optical window applications.
- Strontium Sulfide (SrS)
- Strontium Gallium Sulfide: doped with rare earth metals (SrGa₂S₄:RE)
- Calcium Sulfide (CaS)
- Gadolinum Oxysulfide: doped with rare earth metals (Gd₂O₂S:RE)
- Iron Disulfide (FeS₂)

- Zinc Sulfide (ZnS)
- Zinc Sulfide: Silver doped (ZnS:Ag scintillator)
- Zinc Sulfide-Gallium Sulfide (ZnS-Ga₂S₃)
Developed a process for the Bulk synthesis of electro-conductive Antimony doped Tin Oxide.
Developed new procedures for the manufacture of a high purity Lithium sulfide, Li₂S.
Developed a new process for Molybdenum Disulfide, Tungsten Disulfide and transition metal sulfide composite nanopowders for battery and catalyst applications.
Developed a wide range of custom synthesized phosphors. Materials for LED’s, Radiation Detection and Security Applications.
Fuel Cell Oxides: Developed Processes for the Manufacture of Phase Pure Lanthanum –alkaline earth manganites, ferrites and cobaltites. Anode and Cathode powders available. Nano-powders also available.
Developed CVD Precursors for vapor and aerosol source depositions. Deposited ZnS, CdS, ZnO:Al, ITO,ZrO₂, Y₂O₃, MgO, Spinel, SnO₂:F etc. on Quartz, Si and GaP substrates.
