Synthesis of 2-D nanostructures of Bismuth Oxychloride

This project studies the synthesis process of 2-D nanostructure of inorganic materials. This project studies the ZnO thin layer deposition on a commercial grade paper using Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) technique and its effectiveness of reducing water permeability. The experiment utilizes a commercial grade blue ink for the testing of the permeability. The purpose of the experiment is to successfully contain the ink on the paper in the ZnO layer without ink seeping out or water seeping in. The measurements of the experimental data will be taken using UV-1800 UV Spectrophotometer (Shimadzu, Columbia, MD) and will be analyzed by comparing to the control data. This report will focus on the construction of Ultraviolet Spectroscopy control data.
