Abstract

Heterogeneous catalysis is crucial to chemical industries, environmental protection, energy storage, and conversion. The demand for catalysts with high activity, selectivity, and stability drives the development of controlled and precise synthesis of catalysts. An atomic-level control of catalyst structure will not only provide better catalytic performance, but also help understanding the fundamental catalytic mechanism and the associated structure–property relationship. Recently, atomic layer deposition (ALD) has attracted great interest as an effective method of catalyst design and synthesis due to its high controllability and uniformity for fabricating complex structures at the atomic level. Herein, the ALD technique for tailoring active sites and composite structures of catalysts will be introduced and discussed, which cover both supported metal catalysts and metal/oxide composite catalysts. In particular, various strategies by modifying ALD processes will be presented for the size, composition, and structure control of supported metal, alloy, and core–shell nanoparticles. Several metal oxide composite structures are developed by adjusting the metal oxide ALD processes, including porous overcoating structures, confined coating, and selective coating structures. Finally, we wrap up the chapter with the latest developments in ALD reactor design for catalysts synthesis and a summary and perspectives of ALD method for catalysts synthesis and applications.
