Pt/C catalysts synthesized in a commercial particle atomic layer deposition system enabling improved durability in fuel cells.

Particle atomic layer deposition (ALD) is an emerging method for engineering 3D materials, such as powders, for energy applications. In our study, we employ a commercially available and scalable particle ALD system to synthesize Pt/C electrocatalysts for fuel cells. Our method yields Pt/C catalysts characterized by highly dispersed platinum nanoparticles with a narrow particle size distribution of 2.

EurOgels: A ferromagnetic semiconductor with a porous structure prepared via the assembly of hybrid nanorods.

EuO is unique, because it belongs to the few solids combining semiconducting properties (E = 1.1 eV) with native ferromagnetism. For future applications of EuO, e.
