Summary: Conventional methods to produce thin films of metals such as Platinum, Iridium and Tungsten which are used in the semiconductor and energy industry are expensive and energy consuming. Researchers from the University of Minnesota have developed a way to lower the temperature from several thousands to less than 200 degrees effectively using organic ligands. “"Bringing down the cost and complexity of metal deposition while also allowing for deposition of more complex materials like oxides will play a large role in both industrial and research efforts," said William Nunn, a University of Minnesota chemical engineering and materials science graduate student, the paper's first author, and a recipient of the department's Robert V. Mattern Fellowship.” Image cred: https://phys.org/news/2021-08-technology-important-metals-efficiently.html
