ABSTRACTCerium dioxide (CeO2) thin films were deposited by atomic layer deposition (ALD) on both Si and TiN substrates. The ALD growth produces CeO2 cubic polycrystalline films on both substrates. However, the films show a preferential orientation along <200> crystallographic direction for CeO2/Si or <111> for CeO2/TiN. In correspondence, we measure a relative concentration of Ce3+ equals to 22.0% in CeO2/Si and around 18% in CeO2/TiN, by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Such values indicate the presence of oxygen vacancies in the films. Our results underline the films differences and similarities between ALD-deposited CeO2 either on Si or TiN substrates, thus extending the knowledge on the CeO2 structural and chemical properties.

In this article, the structural and chemical properties of heterogeneous catalysts prepared by atomic layer deposition (ALD) are discussed. Oxide shells can be deposited on metal particles, forming shell/core type catalysts, while metal nanoparticles are incorporated into the deep inner parts of mesoporous supporting materials using ALD. Both structures were used as catalysts for the dry reforming of methane (DRM) reaction, which converts CO2 and CH4 into CO and H2. These ALD-prepared catalysts are not only highly initially active for the DRM reaction but are also stable for long-term operation. The origins of the high catalytic activity and stability of the ALD-prepared catalysts are thoroughly discussed.

We report the atomic-scale structure of alumina layers obtained by atomic layer deposition (ALD) of trimethylaluminium onto partially dehydroxylated silica. Such a detailed insight into the atomic structure of the species formed with increasing Al content was gained using a variety of one- and two-dimensional solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments involving <sup>27</sup>Al, <sup>1</sup>H and <sup>29</sup>Si nuclei. <sup>15</sup>N dynamic nuclear polarization surface-enhanced NMR spectroscopy (<sup>15</sup>N DNP SENS) and infrared spectroscopy using <sup>15</sup>N-labelled pyridine as a probe molecule reveal that aluminium oxide layers on amorphous silica contain both strong Bronsted and strong Lewis acid sites, whereby the relative abundance and nature of these sites, and therefore the acidity of the surface, evolve with increasing thickness of the alumina film. <br>

The Y2O3 films grown with a new and heteroleptic liquid Y precursor, (iPrCp)2Y(iPr-amd), have been investigated with chemical properties of precursor, atomic layer deposition process, and material characterization of the deposited film and its non-volatile resistive switching behaviour.

AbstractThe most fundamental phenomena in the immobilising of biomolecules on the nanostructured materials for energy, environmental and health applications are the control of interfaces between the nanostructures/nanopores and the immobilized biomaterials. Thus, the throughput of all those biobased nanostructured materials and devices can be improved or controlled by the enhanced geometric area of the nanostructured interfaces if an efficient immobilization of the biomolecules is warranted. In this respect, an accurate control of the geometry (size, porosity, etc.) and interfaces is primordial to finding the delicate balance between large/control interface areas and good immobilization conditions. Here, we will show how the atomic layer deposition (ALD) can be used as a tool for the creation of controlled nanostructured interfaces in which the geometry can be tuned accurately and the dependence of the physical-chemical properties on the geometric parameters can be studied systematically in order to immobilize biomolecules. We will show mainly examples of how these methods can be used to create single nanopores for mass spectroscopy and DNA sequencing, and membrane for gas separation and water treatment in which the performance varies with the nanostructure morphologies/interfaces and the immobilization conditions.
