Bent's research focuses on understanding surface and interfacial chemistry and materials synthesis, and applying this knowledge to a range of problems in sustainable energy, semiconductor processing, and nanotechnology. Systems currently under study in our group include new materials and processes for electronics, catalysts, and batteries, with an emphasis on atomic layer deposition and area selective ALD.

Below is a video special of Professor Stacey Bent explaning the group's research of nanotechnology in a video interview series done by the Stanford School of Engineering, along with a feature of the group's area-selective ALD work on the cover of Chemical & Engineering News.

We also feature a whiteboard video summary of the group's research in sustainable energy technologies.

Our research was also featured on the podcast "Nanovation" by Professor Michael Filler. The episode can be heard below where Professor Stacey Bent explains some of the group's research, atomic layer deposition (ALD), and the exciting innovations it brings to the field of nanotechnology. Listen to "32: Stacey Bent - A Ph.D. thesis in Russia" on Spreaker.

Stacey recently discussed how the group balances fundamental and applied ALD on the ALD stories podcast series (Podcast link)
