FUEL CELL

Solid oxide fuel cell electrodes can be made more efficiently with ALD on porous electrodes. A density functional theory demonstrates how a new class of near-surface alloys, possibly deposited with ALD, can yield superior catalytic behaviour for hydrogen-related reactions, and could lead to improved anode catalysts for low-temperature fuel cells. Professor Prinz at Stanford University used a Savannah 200 to improve solid oxide fuel cells:
ALD of Yttria-Stabilized Zirconia for Solid Oxide Fuel Cells and
ALD and CVD Strontium and Barium Precursor Selection.

ALD is suitable for many applications in Semiconductors and nanoelectronics including Gate Dielectrics, Gate Electrodes, Diffusion Barriers, and DRAM | Dynamic Random Access Memory. In the optical fields, ALD can be applied to Optical Dielectric Multilayer Structures / Filters, OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode), Photonic Crystals and static Photonic Band Tuning, Transparent Conductors and Transparent Conducting Electrodes, TFEL or Thin Film Electroluminesence, Solar Cells, OLED Humidity Barrier, Precision Optics Coatings and Photonic Crystal Structures and Lasers. ALD is also applied to MEMS (micro electromechanical systems and Hydrophic & Anti-Stiction Layers in MEMS Devices. There are also applications of ALD in wear resistence, in coatings for blade edges and Nanocomposite Tungsten Disulphide solid lubricants. ALD is also used in nanostructures such as nanotubes & nanowires, and Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) tips. Other common applications of ALD are Catalysis & Catalyst Supports, Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Electrodes, Nano Glue, Biocompatible Coatings for medical instruments Ferromagnetic Transition Metals & Nanotubes and Internal Tube Liners and Inert Inner Linings.
