A protective tin oxide layer formed by atomic-layer deposition limits surface recombination at n-Si surfaces and produces ∼620 mV of photovoltage on planar n-Si photoanodes. The layer conformally coats structures such as Si microcone arrays.

Tin oxide is the most promising material for thin film anodes of Li-ion batteries due to its cycling performance and high theoretical capacity. It is assumed that lithium-tin oxide can demonstrate even higher performance. Lithium-silicon-tin oxide nanofilms were prepared by atomic layer deposition (ALD), using the lithium bis (trimethylsilyl) amide (LiHMDS), tetraethyltin (TET) as a metal containing reagents and ozone or water or oxygen plasma as counter-reactants. Monocrystalline silicon (100) and stainless steel (316SS) were used as supports. The thicknesses of the nanofilms were measured by spectral ellipsometry (SE) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It was found that oxygen plasma is the most optimal ALD counter-reactant. The composition and structure were studied by Time-of-Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectroscopy (ToF-SIMS), X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The nanofilms contain silicon as impurity, whose source is the ALD precursor (LiHMDS). The nanofilms deposited on stainless steel have shown the high Coulombic efficiency (99.1-99.8%) and cycling performance at a relatively high voltage (0.01 to 2.0V).
