layers with opposing charges, and are used to power hybrid electric vehicles, portable …

Atomic layer deposition (ALD) is gaining attention as a thin film deposition method, uniquely
suitable for depositing uniform and conformal films on complex three-dimensional …

Graphene has attracted increasing attention due to its unique electrical, optical,
optoelectronic, and mechanical properties, which have opened up huge numbers of …

Great progress has been made in the preparation and application of ordered mesoporous
metal oxides during the past decade. However, the applications of these novel and …

Anodic aluminium oxide (AAO) has been investigated and utilized in numerous products for
almost a century. But the rapidly increasing interest in nanoscale materials and their …

The miniaturization of power sources aimed at integration into micro‐and nano‐electronic
devices is a big challenge. To ensure the future development of fully autonomous on‐board …

Anodizing aluminum allowed the production of one-of-a-kind porous anodic aluminum oxide
(PAAO) films. These films have a perfectly flat barrier layer and an exceedingly porous …
