Highly stable and conformal Ti-organic thin films from sustainable precursors atomic/molecular layer deposition towards green energy applications.

Thin-film deposition using sustainable precursors is required for various next-generation green energy applications. Here we report two atomic/molecular layer deposition processes for appreciably stable and conformal Ti-organic thin films and TiO:organic superlattices with potential in battery, photocatalysis and thermoelectric applications. These processes are based on the safe and sustainable titanium isopropoxide as the titanium precursor.

Chemical Bonding and Crystal Structure Schemes in Atomic/Molecular Layer Deposited Fe-Terephthalate Thin Films.

Advanced deposition routes are vital for the growth of functional metal-organic thin films. The gas-phase atomic/molecular layer deposition (ALD/MLD) technique provides solvent-free and uniform nanoscale thin films with unprecedented thickness control and allows straightforward device integration. Most excitingly, the ALD/MLD technique can enable the in situ growth of novel crystalline metal-organic materials.

Conformal Zn-Benzene Dithiol Thin Films for Temperature-Sensitive Electronics Grown via Industry-Feasible Atomic/Molecular Layer Deposition Technique.

The atomic/molecular layer deposition (ALD/MLD) technique combining both inorganic and organic precursors is strongly emerging as a unique tool to design exciting new functional metal-organic thin-film materials. Here, this method is demonstrated to work even at low deposition temperatures and can produce highly stable and conformal thin films, fulfilling the indispensable prerequisites of today's 3D microelectronics and other potential industrial applications. This new ALD/MLD process is developed for Zn-organic thin films grown from non-pyrophoric bis-3-(N,N-dimethylamino)propyl zinc [Zn(DMP)] and 1,4-benzene dithiol (BDT) precursors.

Conformal High-Aspect-Ratio Solid Electrolyte Thin Films for Li-Ion Batteries by Atomic Layer Deposition.

Lithium phosphorus oxynitride (LiPON) is a state-of-the-art solid electrolyte material for thin-film microbatteries. These applications require conformal thin films on challenging 3D surface structures, and among the advanced thin-film deposition techniques, atomic layer deposition (ALD) is believed to stand out in terms of producing appreciably conformal thin films. Here we quantify the conformality (i.

Centrosymmetric to non-centrosymmetric transition in the CaMnTiO double perovskite system studied through structural analysis and dielectric properties.

We have used high-pressure synthesis to synthesize samples of CaMnTiO double perovskite, where varies between 0.2 and 1. The synthesized materials were structurally characterized with powder X-ray diffraction (XRD).
