Using Radiation to Generate Amorphous Metal Oxide Films (3 of 3)

Caption

Placing a heat lamp over a substrate (e.g., metal, glass) coated with a metal salt leads to the formation of films that act as excellent electrocatalyst for producing clean fuels. This material relates to a paper that appeared in the March 6, 2015, issue of Science, published by AAAS. The paper, by D.A. Salvatore at The University of British Columbia in Vancouver, BC, Canada, and colleagues was titled, "Near-infrared-driven decomposition of metal precursors for the formation of amorphous metal and metal oxide films."
