Description
Summary:In this communication, we describe the synthesis of new chiral alumina nanofilms and surfaces. Our method is based on chiral templating of alumina nanofilms by cellulose microfibers using the atomic layer deposition process. The chiral nature of the alumina nanofilms was characterized by a variety of techniques, such as quartz crystal microbalance, chiral circular-dichroism adsorption, chiral high-performance liquid chromatography and cyclic voltammetry measurements. The overall synthesis of novel chiral nanosized metal-oxide nanofilms and surfaces, based on the chiral templating of cellulose with alumina using the atomic layer deposition process.
