Scalable Production of Stabilized Catalysts via Atomic Layer Deposition

Goulas A., Dokania A., Grillo F., van Limpt B., van Ommen R., van Limpt B., van Ommen R., Delft IMP, NL

We report the use of several nanostructuring concepts using Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) that coupled with porosity induction via heat treatment resulted to controllably accessible model catalysts. This enables more active, selective and stable catalysts. [...]

Atomic Layer Deposition Innovations in Li-Ion Battery Technology

Flexible Organic-Inorganic Core-Shell Nanofibers by Electrospinning and Atomic Layer Deposition

Kayaci F., Ozgit-Akgun C., Donmez I., Biyikli N., Uyar T., Bilkent University, TR

We report on the fabrication of organic-inorganic core-shell nanofibers by using two-step approach; electrospinning and atomic layer deposition (ALD). In the first step, nylon (polymeric organic core) nanofibers having different average fiber diameters were electrospun [...]

Template-based synthesis of AlN hollow nanofibers via plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition

Ozgit-Akgun C., Kayaci F., Donmez I., Uyar T., Biyikli N., Bilkent University, TR

We report on the synthesis of AlN hollow nanofibers by plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition (PEALD) using electrospun polymeric nanofibers as templates. Three templates with different average fiber diameters were obtained by electrospinning of polymeric solutions [...]
