Delft University of Technology Orders Veeco ALD System for Researching Materials for Energy Storage Solutions
June 26 2018 - 8:00AM
Veeco Instruments Inc. (Nasdaq:VECO) today announced that the
Materials for Energy Conversion and Storage Group (MECS) at Delft
University of Technology has ordered its Fiji
®
F200™ Plasma-Enhanced Atomic Layer Deposition (PE-ALD) system.
Based in The Netherlands, MECS selected the Veeco tool for its
superior performance for research on state-of-the-art materials for
renewables, storage and advanced energy solutions.
“Our colleagues with the Kavli Nanolab at Delft have reported
great success working with the Fiji F200 for their nanotechnology
R&D, and we are confident the system’s capabilities will also
serve us well as we pursue new materials for sustainable energy
applications,” said Fokko Mulder, professor of applied sciences and
integrated energy systems at Delft University of Technology. “In
particular, we were drawn to the Fiji’s world-class reputation,
flexible PE-ALD system architecture, and excellent service and
support backed by the technical expertise of Veeco’s ALD
scientists. After evaluating different options, the Fiji F200
proved the best platform to meet our advanced experimentation
needs.”
The Fiji series is a modular, high-vacuum ALD system that
accommodates a wide range of thermal and plasma-enhanced deposition
modes using multiple configurations of precursors and gases. Veeco
continues to be in the forefront of ALD R&D for energy storage
with premier research published in the field of solid-state
lithium- and sodium-ion batteries, including stoichiometric
multicomponent lithium oxides for higher capacity 3D electrodes,
safer solid-state electrolytes, and ultrathin phosphate/aluminate
encapsulation layers for improved battery lifetime. With over 500
systems installed worldwide, Veeco’s ALD platforms are used in a
wide variety of research and industrial environments, including 3D
nanofabrication, electronics, batteries, solar cells, energy and
compound semiconductors, as well as exciting new applications to
solve some of the world’s most pressing technology and resource
challenges.
“The MECS group is one of the top research departments in the
world working to meet the growing demand for renewable sources and
energy storage solutions,” said Gerry Blumenstock, vice president
and general manager of MBE and ALD products at Veeco. “We look
forward to helping Professor Mulder and his team at Delft to
maximize the benefits of ALD for this important research.”
According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, global
energy consumption will increase by 28 percent between 2015 and
2040, and renewables are the fastest-growing energy source with
adoption expected to increase by an average of 2.3 percent each
year through 2040. The intermittent nature of renewables is also
driving the importance of advanced energy storage research and
solutions. The global market for energy storage of renewables is
predicted by Navigant Research to grow exponentially from its
current nascent stage to reach $23 billion by 2026.
