Oregon chemists say their breakthrough in the study of waterborne aluminum compounds could lead to large-scale production of thin films and nanoparticles used in transistors, solar energy cells, corrosion protection and catalytic converters.
A team from the University of Oregon and Oregon State University describe their new platform for synthesizing aluminum-containing nanoclusters as a major scientific advance in the study of aqueous aluminum. Results are reported HERE in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The researchers describe how they used the new technique to create "flat clusters" of aluminum oxide in water, a precursor to high-volume production of thin-film aluminum products.
The team's work was conducted through the Center for Sustainable Materials Chemistry, a collaboration of six research universities, which is sponsored by funded by the National Science Foundation.
