Improved oxidation resistance of organic/inorganic composite atomic layer deposition coated cellulose nanocrystal aerogels

چکیده
Cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) aerogels are coated with thin conformal layers of Al2O3 using atomic layer deposition to form hybrid organic/inorganic nanocomposites. Electron probe microanalysis and scanning electron microscopy analysis indicated the Al2O3 penetrated more than 1500 lm into the aerogel for extended precursor pulse and exposure/purge times. The measured profile of coated fiber radius versus depth from the aerogel surface agrees well with simulations of precursor penetration depth in modeled aerogel structures. Thermogravimetric analysis shows that Al2O3 coated CNC aerogel nanocomposites do not show significant thermal degradation below 295 C as compared with 175 C for uncoated CNC aerogels, an improvement of over 100 C.

Inorganic hollow nanotube aerogels by atomic layer deposition onto native nanocellulose templates.
Hollow nano-objects have raised interest in applications such as sensing, encapsulation, and drug-release. Here we report on a new class of porous materials, namely inorganic nanotube aerogels that, unlike other aerogels, have a framework consisting of inorganic hollow nanotubes. First we show a preparation method for titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, and aluminum oxide nanotube aerogels based on a...
متن کاملElectrophoretic deposition of MnCr2O4 coating for solid oxide fuel cell metallic interconnects
In the present study, Mn - Cr spinel powder was synthesized through a solid state reaction. In the next step, the electrophoretic deposition (EPD) method was used to apply the MnCr2O4 spinel, as an oxidation-resistant layer, on SUS 430 stainless steel in a potential of 300 V/cm. The coated and uncoated samples were then pre-sintered in air at 900 °C for 3 h followed by cyclic oxidation at 800 °...

متن کاملFabrication of Porous Al2O3 and TiO2 Thin film hybrid composite using Atomic Layer Deposition and Properties Study
Atomic layer deposition (ALD) has been used in advanced applications where thin layers of materials with precise thickness down to the nanometer scale are needed. Using anodic oxidation, we prepared the porous alumina. Anodic oxidation was carried out in 5 C 0.3M oxalic acid with anodizing voltages (~ 40 V) and two step anodization method. SEM shows that, these porous anodic oxides are well ali...
متن کاملIncreasing the stability of DNA nanostructure templates by atomic layer deposition of Al2O3 and its application in imprinting lithography
We present a method to increase the stability of DNA nanostructure templates through conformal coating with a nanometer-thin protective inorganic oxide layer created using atomic layer deposition (ALD). DNA nanotubes and origami triangles were coated with ca. 2 nm to ca. 20 nm of Al2O3. Nanoscale features of the DNA nanostructures were preserved after the ALD coating and the patterns are resist...
