Insights from the Arradiance team.
Longer-form perspective on atomic layer deposition and the industries it serves. For the published literature itself, the research library holds 260+ independent studies.
The Great Solar Energy Saga.
A two-part look at why solar is not the finished story it appears to be, and where the real engineering problem now sits.
Progress isn’t the same as completion
Silicon photovoltaics are mature, bankable, and approaching a ceiling. Perovskites make the next phase believable, but they are not yet ready to carry it. Why solar is in the uncomfortable middle act.
The problem isn’t the material, it’s the interface
Perovskites rarely fail in the bulk. They fail where layers meet, where defects accumulate, and where exposure begins to break the system down, precisely where ALD operates.
Research, not commentary.
Insights are perspective pieces. The underlying science sits in the research library: 260+ independently published studies that used Arradiance systems, filterable by application, from perovskite photovoltaics to lithium-ion batteries to superconductors.
If you want the fundamentals, the Technology page is a plain-English introduction to ALD, PE-ALD, and MLD.
Working on something like this?
Tell us the substrate, the film, and the constraint. A specialist will tell you whether ALD is the right tool, and which system fits.
