Atomic layer deposition functionalization and modification of three dimensional nanostructures for energy storage and conversion
In order to fulfill the increasing demands for various sustainable and renewable energy sources in future, many efforts have been paid to construct high-efficient energy storage and conversion devices for the corresponding energy sources. The boom of nanomaterials provides new opportunities for the development of high efficient energy related devices. Meanwhile, the fabrication of three-dimensional architecture nanomaterials to replace their planer counterparts for devices fabrication has been regarded as one of the promising strategy to improve the efficiency of devices. In this thesis, through effectively combining three-dimensional micro/nanoarchitecture with atomic layer deposition, we carried out a series of systematic research works on controllable fabrication, assembly and functionalization of three-dimensional micro/nanoarchitecture for high-efficient energy storage and conversion devices. The main achievements are outlined as following: 1. A low-cost and controlled assembly route was employed to construct three-dimensional aluminum doped zinc oxide transparent electrode using atomic layer deposition on varies micro/nanostructures, including three-dimensional nanopore array and three-dimensional porous nanostructure and so on. The two main properties of transparent electrode, electroconductivity and transparence of the synthesized three-dimensional aluminum doped zinc were systematically investigated by the adjusting of doping and growth conditions by atomic layer deposition. The constructed three-dimensional aluminum doped zinc oxide could serve as a good transparent electrode to be used in the new generations of photovoltaic and optoelectronic devices. 2. Core/shell nanostructures with optimal structure and composition could maximize the solar light utilization. A feasible route was performed toward scalable fabrication of well-modulated core/shell nanostructures and can be easily applied to other metal/semiconductor composites for high-performance photoelectrochemical electrodes. An aluminum nanocone ...
