  Thin film of silicon is an interesting material for many technological applications in electronic industry and in energy harvesting technologies, but requires a method for controlled growth of thin films. The purpose of this study is to screen a wide variety of Si content precursors for Si atomic layer deposition (ALD) reactions using state-of-the-art density-functional calculations. Among the studied 85 Si content precursors we found that C7H12OSi–Methoxy-trivinyl-silane and C7H9NSi–Benzyliminosilane show positive indications for ALD reactivity for Si deposition. We believe that this finding will be helpful to develop low-cost, high-energy efficiency thin-film solar cells for future scale up implementation in photovoltaics.

  Anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) is an optically transparent material with uniform hexagonal pores, which has widely been used as a template for nanowire growth. This study examines the potential of utilizing commercially available AAO to fabricate sub-10 nm ZnO nanowires by atomic layer deposition. The pore diameter of the AAO framework is reduced by controlled deposition of . Subsequently, ZnO is deposited and ZnO nanowires are obtained. The analysis of structural and optical properties shows that the nanowires are polycrystalline, and exhibit a pronounced near band edge emission. Photoluminescence (PL) measurements are performed to monitor the effect of additional coating with and ZnO, on the optical stability of the AAO. The measurements indicate that the PL is highly influenced by the adsorption and desorption of species from the ambient at the surface. ALD deposition of a thin layer reduces considerably the effect of ambient atmosphere. The layer of facilitates PL characterization of very thin ZnO nanowires.

  In this paper, we present a study of wafer-level process for deposition of amorphous thin film MoS2 by radio-frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering technique. Thin film deposition was performed in argon atmosphere with pressure around 10-2 to 10-4 Torr, RF power between 100-250 W and temperature from room temperature up to 250°C. X-ray diffraction indicates that the thin films are amorphous. Deposition rate and sulphur concentration showed a clear dependence on variation in RF power. Surface roughness increase as temperature was increased from room temperature up to 250°C. Photocurrent increases about 20% under white light illumination. The thin films are continuous with low roughness which might make it a potential candidate for wafer-scale production for advanced electronics or sensor applications.

  Intergranular corrosion causes a significant loss of compressive strength in highly porous TiO2 foams. In this study, the resistance of conformal atomic layer deposited (ALD) coatings against intergranular corrosion has been investigated. ALD coated TiO2 foams maintained 107% ± 20% and 94% ± 10% of their initial compressive strength for films deposited at 150 °C and 250 °C, respectively. After an immersion period of 28 days in 1 mM HCl, amorphous films showed greater potential in corrosion protection of polycrystalline TiO2 foams. However, anatase coatings with sufficient protection may be more beneficial for cell-material interactions.

  Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) can be used as gas sensing elements when combined with electronic circuitry. The method of direct integration on free-standing microbridges allows CNT-to-silicon integration in a CMOS-compatible process that can be automated and scaled to wafer level. Sensitive gas sensors can thus be made in single chips containing both the electronics and the nanomaterial functionality. The present work explores functionalization of suspended CNTs from the direct integration method, using Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD), with the purpose of improving selectivity and sensitivity of gas sensors. Three wide-bandgap semiconducting oxides (ZnO, TiO2 and Co3O4) are successfully deposited, where the resulting structures reflect the reactivity of the different ALD precursors. The work further demonstrates the potential this functionalization scheme has for greatly reducing the electrical resistance of the resulting Si-CNT-Si system.

  Batteries are fast becoming the go-to energy storage solution of our future, even for highly demanding applications such as aviation. The growing expectations and demands for our future batteries require radical improvements in both design and construction. Several approaches are being pursued throughout the research community. At UiO, we are exploring solid-state electrolytes to fulfil these demands. Changing from a liquid to a solid electrolyte is a drastic change in battery design, and solid electrolytes will significantly improve the properties of batteries. This will in turn enable new applications and further decouple our civilization from fossil fuels. Most solid materials have low ionic conductivity, but not all. We are exploring solid materials with high ionic conductivity, including combinations of organic and inorganic structures forming a class of hybrid materials. This work is based on our previous, successful work on high-performance FePO4 cathode materials that show quasi-capacitive behaviour.

  Lithium phosphate (Li3PO4) is a promising material as solid state electrolyte. In this work a new route for synthesis of phosphorous based materials using Atomic layer deposition (ALD) is demonstrated. The established phosphate precursor for ALD use has been replaced by the more volatile phosphite precursors for synthesis of LiPO and AlPO materials. Furthermore, the LiPO product has been tested as a barrier material onto LiFePO4 cathodes to improve kinetics and cycling performance. We have shown that there is indeed an improvement at low barrier thicknesses Figure 1. Adding barrier layers in the interphase between the cathode and electrolyte can be seen as a step on towards development and implementation of commercially viable solid state electrolytes. Deposition of barriers for battery materials by ALD is not a new field [1]. Films of; AlPO4, FePO4 [2], Al2O3 [3, 4], TiO2 [5], Li3PO4 [5] and LiPON [6] have all been reported. Our novel approach is application of phosphorous precursors in the +III oxidation state, such as trimethyl phosphite (Me3PO3) and triethyl phosphite (Et3PO3). These precursors can replace trimethyl phosphate (Me3PO4) in established deposition routes for aluminium phosphate (AlPO4) [7] and lithium phosphate (Li3PO4) [8, 9] by ALD. Furthermore, the resulting LixPO3 product can form a barrier layer where certain thicknesses will give a positive contribution to kinetics, capacity retention and cycling performance.

  Improvements in performance of lithium ion batteries (LIB) depend on further developments of the electroactive materials, specially the cathode. Many different classes of materials have been investigated as possible cathode materials to replace the presently used LiCoO2. However, despite the immense efforts devoted to develop new LIB cathode materials, they still suffer from limitations connected with production costs, cyclability, capacity, electronic conductivity and potential hazards for user and environment. There is therefore still an unprecedented demand for new types of materials for lithium ion batteries delivering at all mentioned points, as well as deeper insight into the limiting factors of the present state-of-the-art materials. The current work has opened for deeper insight into assumed well known materials, such as LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4, using a combination of x-ray and neutron scattering studies. We have thereby questioned the previously accepted assumptions with respect to importance of order and disorder in cationic distributions. Moreover, we have enabled electrochemical studies of previously difficult materials by using proper electrode preparation techniques, exemplified by FeNb2O6 and CrNb2O6. The current findings point at the importance of continuously revisiting known systems with better tools, in addition to exploring new compounds as replacements for technologically important materials, such as cathode materials for Li-ion batteries. The path for narrowing the gap towards gasoline in energy density is long, and every small step is required. This work is such an effort.
