Ultra-Porous Devices by Synergistic Aerosol and Atomic Layer Depositions

该项目致力于开发一种可扩展的低成本方法，用于合成和集成纳米器件中的超多孔膜。该项目打算在气凝胶状的纳米颗粒网络上沉积原子层，通过火焰气溶胶的热电泳法自组装。这将使原子沉积层的质量在每个循环中增加数百倍，并产生具有电化学活性表面积的超多孔膜。该项目旨在展示固-气、固-液、固-固纳米界面的制造，这些纳米界面将适用于可穿戴式医疗诊断等关键新兴技术。

The project aspires to develop a scalable low-cost approach for the synthesis and integration of ultra-porous films in nanodevices. The project intends to deposit atomic layers onto aerogel-like nanoparticle networks, self-assembled by thermophoresis of flame-made aerosols. This would increase the atomically-deposited layer mass by several hundred-fold per cycle and result in ultra-porous films with electrochemically active surface areas. It is intended that the project will demonstrate the fabrication of solid–gas, solid–liquid and solid–solid nanointerfaces, which will be applicable to key emerging technologies such as wearable medical diagnostics.
