The SOFC includes an interfacial layer deposited, preferably by atomic layer deposition (ALD), between an electrode layer and an electrolyte layer. The interfacial layer includes an ion-conductive material. By use of ALD, the interfacial layer can have a very small thickness and can include layered structures of alternating materials. The interfacial layer can also include doping gradient structures of doped ion-conductive materials.

    摘要: A method of precursor selection for thin film deposition is provided, that includes a group of precursors, using a rule-set for selecting one or more candidate precursors for thermal stability, high growth rate, and low contamination. Candidate geometries and constituent geometries are simulated and optimized, and bond strengths of the candidates and constituents are determined. The rule-set is based on bond strength that compares molecule and constituent energies between a set of bond strengths within a candidate ligand or between a metal atom and one ligand. The rule-set requires metal atom-ligand bonds are between 0.2 and 3 eV, metal atom-ligand bond strengths are less than metal atom-ligand bond strengths of other candidates. The metal atom-ligand bond strength is >TΔS, where T is a reaction temperature and ΔS is the reaction entropy change and the bond within a ligand, where (ligand bond)>(metal atom and ligand bond).

    摘要: Area selective atomic layer deposition is provided by a method including the following steps. First, a substrate is provided. Second, a tip of a scanning probe microscope (SPM) is disposed in proximity to the surface of the substrate. An electrical potential is then established between the tip and the surface that cause one or more localized electrical effects in proximity to the tip. Deposition reactants for atomic layer deposition (ALD) are provided, and deposition occurs in a pattern defined by the localized electrical effects because of locally enhanced ALD reaction rates.

    摘要: Efficient photovoltaic devices with quantum dots are provided. Quantum dots have numerous desirable properties that can be used in solar cells, including an easily selected bandgap and Fermi level. In particular, the size and composition of a quantum dot can determine its bandgap and Fermi level. By precise deposition of quantum dots in the active layer of a solar cell, bandgap gradients can be present for efficient sunlight absorption, exciton dissociation, and charge transport. Mismatching Fermi levels are also present between adjacent quantum dots, allowing for built-in electric fields to form and aid in charge transport and the prevention of exciton recombination.
