A new special issue in Advanced Materials Interfaces this month highlights advances in “Atomic Layer Deposition for Energy and Environmental Applications”, guest edited by Neil P. Dasgupta, Liang Li, and Xueliang Sun. This special issue includes four reviews, one progress report, and eleven research articles covering application of atomic layer deposition technique for photovoltaics, energy storage, capacitors and conductors, sensors, etc. The articles reflect the breadth of the atomic and molecular layer deposition techniques for surface and interfacial modification, and demonstrate the precise control of composition and structure at the nanoscale afforded by their selflimiting chemistry.
