From Haukka et al.: doi.org/10.1016/S0167-…: "Active catalysts for a variety of reactions have been processed by the ALE method [10-13]." (ALE = atomic layer epitaxy) Interesting. I knew of some early patens, but actually had not recognized these. #ALDep #ALDepChat

19th Nordic Symposium on Catalysis is happily over (6.-8.6.). Not much tweeting during the event... there is so little time, when you are the organizer! Some stats here. Plenaries by Centi and BertWeckhuysen were great. Videos perhaps to come later. #NordicSympCat #FinCatSoc

#ALDALE2022 all smiles at ALD/ALE 2022!

Catalysis group, Aalto Univ. School of Chem. Eng. This is how it goes 😊

All right, this starts to take shape (& it's time...). To be presented at #aaltouniversity #installationtalks on Wed 26.10.2022. #AaltoCHEM [Front page's catalytic results from just-published Arandia et al., Applied Catalysis B 321 (2022) 122046; doi.org/10.1016/j.apca…]

New paper out! Appl. Catal. B: Arandia et al. “Effect of atomic layer deposited zinc promoter on the activity of copper-on-zirconia catalysts in the hydrogenation of carbon dioxide to methanol”. doi.org/10.1016/j.apca…. Thanks for all coauthors for this fruitful collaboration!

Today was the day of #aaltouniversity #installationtalks, and I received my certificate for tenured professor (still ”associate professor”, for clarity). My talk on ”catalysis meets #ALDep” was recorded and will be shared later. Great day it was - but I’m happy it is behind!

My photos from the #aaltouniversity #installationtalks - oh wow! (Credit: Aalto University / Mikko Raskingn) The group photo looks actually like - a school class photo 😀! Let's see when the video is ready to share - will go to Aalto Youtube. Catalysis group, Aalto Univ. School of Chem. Eng. #AaltoCHEM

Andrew Akbashev ...Thing is: I have continuously too many tasks & too little time. I decided that I will prioritize in my time use those who I committed to support, that is, those who are in my group now. I continuously have too little time for them, too. I feel good with this decision.

Here, a great example from Bent Group of cautious social media usage: posters, with (presumably unpublished) scientific contents covered with white boxes in the images. I will bring this up with my students: one should carefully think what to share. #AcademicTwitter #ALDepChat

COOLCAT experimentalists and computational researchers together after a project group meeting in Jyväskylä. Thanks CompCatJYU for hosting us & for the nice collaboration! #C1value Suomen Akatemia | Research Council of Finland

29 Nov — This year, no ”November Networking” at Aalto University. But, my tenured professor’s installation talk is out! Watch here, how Catalysis meets atomic layer deposition in my research at #aaltouniversity. #installationtalks #ALDep #catalysis youtu.be/Wd7lQOGpjfQ

Highlight of the day! Lunch with Tuomo #Suntola and participants in my (first-ever) doctoral course on #ALDep (one missing). So, some #NovemberNetworkingALD this year, too, even when I was unable to organize a bigger event (as too many things to do). Catalysis group, Aalto Univ. School of Chem. Eng. #AaltoCHEM

The good thing about the #installationtalk was that I needed to have a photo taken, again. If anyone needs a photo of me, here is straight from the material bank of @aaltouniversity, taken by Mikko Raskinen. (Cropping can be good :) . )

Yes! Pure happiness. 4x 😊. (Highlight of my #ALDep doctoral course, clearly. Cannot promise the same for potential future editions of the course 😊.)

We have (finally!) produced #OpenData set for PCCP 24 (2022) 8645-8660, doi.org/10.1039/D1CP04…, Fig 4, which e.g. shows the effect of #ALDep GPC on penetration depth (thickness profile).

More #OpenScience from @aaltocatalysis! Today the #DReaMALD (DReaM-ALD) code was published, as promised in PCCP 24 (2022) 8645, doi.org/10.1039/D1CP04…. Github: github.com/Aalto-Puurunen… Version also Zenodo.org (v1.0.0): zenodo.org/record/7759195 #ALDep #ALDepChat

ZnO ALD on mesoporous zirconia using zinc acetylacetonate is now available as a #preprint via #chemrxiv. Thank Dr. Miia Mäntymäki, Arandia_MSCA, Matti Putkonen, Riikka Puurunen, and many other coworkers for your contributions. #ALDep #openscience #ALDconformality doi.org/10.26434/chemr…
