A groundbreaking study published in Nature Synthesis highlights a collaboration between Missouri S&T and Yale University, led by Dr. Jie Huang, professor of electrical and computer engineering at S&T.
Dr. Huang and his research group — Dr. Bohong Zhang, Dr. Farhan Mumtaz, and collaborators — co-authored the paper introducing a new technique called electrified vapor deposition (EVD) for material synthesis.
The EVD method uses an electrified carbon paper heater to instantly reach extremely high temperatures, vaporize materials, and produce uniform nanomaterials and thin films — all under normal atmospheric conditions, without costly vacuum systems. This innovation simplifies vapor-phase synthesis while cutting cost and energy consumption.
Congratulations to Dr. Huang and his team on this significant achievement and international collaboration!
