Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) is an advanced technique for preparing catalysts at atomic level. It provides the ability to synthesize supported catalysts and it is based on self limiting chemical reactions of alternate doses of precursors that saturate the surface, separated by an inert gas purge. ALD provides some advantages such as large-area uniformity and excellent conformability. within this frame of reference, this work is focused on the synthesis of cobalt oxide grown onto zirconia fibers by the ALD technique. These catalysts were tested in the CO oxidation, which is considered a model reaction for environmental concern.
