We urgently require an atomic layer deposition (ALD) system at Concordia University to accelerate the research programs in renewable energy and green chemistry, including the next-generation solid-state batteries, upcycling of waste plastics, and micro-nano integration for photosynthesis. ALD is a powerful thin-film technique that can realize excellent coverage and conformal deposition even on high-aspect-ratio structures and the thickness of the as-deposited film is precisely controllable at the atomic level due to its self-limiting nature. It also has unparalleled advantages in developing multiple types of functional materials with various nanostructures, from inorganic materials (metal oxides, halides, nitrides, etc.) to organic polymers (polyurea, PEDOT, etc.), from single atoms/nanoclusters to continuous thin films. Therefore, the team will take full advantages of the requested ALD equipment in the development of advanced materials from nanoscale to atomic-scale in their expertise, including the interface design of solid-state batteries (Dr. X. Li), single-atom hydrogenolysis catalysts for the upcycling of waste polyethylene (Dr. Z. Ye), and atomic-scale metal-oxide coating materials for the micro-nano integration and sensing (Dr. M. Packirisamy). The equipment is of significant importance for the development of nanotechnology in Concordia University that will facilitate the cross-disciplinary collaboration between the departments and broadening the range and quality of training HQP. Successful acquirement of the ALD equipment will benefit the Canadian industry and the nanotechnology community by transferring new knowledge, expertise, and technologies to clean energy and green chemistry industries by accelerating the relevant application commercialization process and directly reducing the environmental pollution.

我们急需在康科迪亚大学（Concordia University）进行原子层沉积（ALD）系统，以加速可再生能源和绿色化学的研究计划，包括下一代固态电池，废物塑料的升级以及用于光合作用的微纳米整合。 ALD是一种功能强大的薄膜技术，即使在高镜结构上，也可以实现出色的覆盖范围和保形沉积，并且由于其自限性性质，在原子水平上，Aseposcosed Film的厚度也可以控制。它在开发具有各种纳米结构的多种功能材料方面也具有无与伦比的优势，从无机材料（金属氧化物，卤化物，氮化物等）到有机聚合物（聚尿素，PEDOT等），从单个原子/纳米群体到连续的薄膜。 Therefore, the team will take full advantages of the requested ALD equipment in the development of advanced materials from nanoscale to atomic-scale in their expertise, including the interface design of solid-state batteries (Dr. X. Li), single-atom hydrogenolysis catalysts for the upcycling of waste polyethylene (Dr. Z. Ye), and atomic-scale metal-oxide coating materials for the micro-nano integration and sensing (Dr. M. Packirisamy）。该设备对于Concordia University的纳米技术的开发至关重要，这将促进部门之间的跨学科合作并扩大培训HQP的范围和质量。通过将新的知识，专业知识和技术转移到清洁能源和绿色化学行业，通过加速相关的应用商业化过程并直接减少环境污染，成功地采购ALD设备将使加拿大工业和纳米技术社区受益。
