Review paper entitled "Dimension Control of Platinum Nanostructures by Atomic Layer Deposition: From Surface Chemical Reactions to Applications" has been published in Chemistry of Materials (IF: 10.508)

The paper reviews the advances in Pt ALD since its inauguration with the focus on the key factors including the precursor chemistry, the surface reaction, nucleation, and growth mechanisms, as well as the influence of deposition conditions and surface engineering. The potential applications of Pt ALD were also discussed. We expect that this article can provide the fundamentals of Pt ALD, which may serve as a guide to achieve a desired Pt nanostructure for a targeted application.

Congratulations to all the team!

Professors & researchers from Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM), Malaysia visited Phenikaa University in the framework of the joint project sponsored by Phosagro /UNESCO /IUPAC. We hope to see you very soon in Malaysia!

It was a great honor and pleasure for our research group to welcome Prof. Han-Bo-Ram Lee, Prof. Se-Hun Kwon, Prof. Il-Kwon Oh and Dr. Chi-Thang Nguyen to Phenikaa University (February 2023)

Review paper entitled "Advances in Flexible Metallic Transparent Electrodes" has been accepted for publication in Small. (IF: 13.281)

The paper reviews and discusses recent progress and remaining challenges on metallic nanostructure-based transparent electrodes (TEs), including oxide/metal/oxide multilayers, metal grids, metal nanowire, nanofiber, nanotrough percolating networks, metal meshes based on cracked templated, dealloyed ultrathin metallic films and some important nanocomposites. The various fields in which metal-based TEs have been successfully applied as well as emerging and potential applications are summarized.

Welcome to the ALD Research Group at Phenikaa University

The ALD Research Group at Phenikaa University was officially established on the 19th November 2019 and belongs to the Faculty of Materials Science and Engineering. Our main goal is to develop Atomic Layer Deposition processes with the focus on atmospheric pressure ALD techniques, which include Spatial Atomic Layer Deposition - SALD and Fluidized Bed Atomic Layer Deposition - FBALD, for the synthesis, surface engineering and processing of novel nanostructured materials for a wide range of applications, including energy conversion and storage, catalysis, optoelectronics, and biomedical devices.

ALD has been showing a great interest in a wide range of applications such as Integrated Circuits and MEMS, film encapsulation for flexible displays, ALD conformal coating, biocompatible materials or solar cells

All the nanomaterials mentioned here were deposited with atmospheric pressure ALD.

About Phenikaa University

Located in Hanoi – the Capital City of Vietnam, established on the 10th October 2007 with its former name Thanh Tay University, and become a member of Phenikaa Group since 2017, the name Phenikaa University has been officially registered in the world education and research map since the 21st November 2018. This is an important milestone that represents the inauguration of a new era of Phenikaa University: We aim to provide high-quality education, research, and social contribution proudly from now on.

Following our brand new name, Phenikaa University has received enormous support from Phenikaa Group for the development of infrastructure, equipment of educational and research facilities, and especially the recruitment of high-quality human resource to realize our ambition of heading Phenikaa University toward an internationally recognized research and education institution following the international standards. Within a year, Phenikaa University has attracted more than 100 young and motivated scientists around the world, including foreign scientists with diverse nationalities, Vietnamese scientists living abroad and Vietnamese scientists from other institutions in Vietnam. The university currently hosts over 400 staff members and 3000 students, and offers more than 20 programs at bachelor and master levels. To create a professional environment and trigger scientific research activities at the university, Phenikaa Group has launched 4 research institutes and centers, including Phenikaa Research and Technology Institute (PRATI), Phenikaa Institute for Advanced Study (PIAS), Phenikaa University Nano Institute (PHENA) and International Center for Social Science Research (ISR), each having an International Advisory Board consisting of well-known scientists from highly ranked universities. In 2019, 9 key research groups and 4 potential research groups, led by the most talented scientists of the university, have been established. Ever since, the research activities at the university have been rapidly promoted.
