ZnO ALD on mesoporous zirconia using zinc acetylacetonate is now available as a #preprint via #chemrxiv. Thank @BMCtheALCHEMIST, @ArandiaMsca, @matti_putkonen, @rlpuu, and many other coworkers for your contributions. #ALDep #openscience #ALDconformality https://t.co/OxJDADAKbc

We have (finally!) produced #OpenData set for PCCP 24 (2022) 8645-8660, https://t.co/m44CxcOqJT, Fig 4, which e.g. shows the effect of #ALDep GPC on penetration depth (thickness profile).

More #OpenScience from @aaltocatalysis! Today the #DReaMALD (DReaM-ALD) code was published, as promised in PCCP 24 (2022) 8645, https://t.co/m44CxcOqJT.

End-of-the-year summary for @AaltoCatalysis, linked, in Catalysis Professor's Open. Looking forward to 2023 -- first, a break. Happy Holidays!

The good thing about the #installationtalk was that I needed to have a photo taken, again.

If anyone needs a photo of me, here is straight from the material bank of @aaltouniversity, taken by Mikko Raskinen. (Cropping can be good :) . )

[Riikka Puurunen @rlpuu]

Yes! Pure happiness. 4x 😊. (Highlight of my #ALDep doctoral course, clearly. Cannot promise the same for potential future editions of the course 😊.)

[Riikka Puurunen @rlpuu]

Highlight of the day! Lunch with Tuomo #Suntola and participants in my (first-ever) doctoral course on #ALDep (one missing).

So, some #NovemberNetworkingALD this year, too, even when I was unable to organize a bigger event (as too many things to do). @AaltoCatalysis #AaltoCHEM

[Riikka Puurunen @rlpuu]

29 Nov — This year, no ”November Networking” at Aalto University. But, my tenured professor’s installation talk is out!

Watch here, how Catalysis meets atomic layer deposition in my research at #aaltouniversity. #installationtalks #ALDep #catalysis

COOLCAT experimentalists and computational researchers together after a project group meeting in Jyväskylä. Thanks @CompCatJYU for hosting us & for the nice collaboration! #C1value @SuomenAkatemia

Here, a great example from @BentGroup of cautious social media usage: posters, with (presumably unpublished) scientific contents covered with white boxes in the images.

I will bring this up with my students: one should carefully think what to share.

@Andrew_Akbashev ...Thing is: I have continuously too many tasks & too little time.

I decided that I will prioritize in my time use those who I committed to support, that is, those who are in my group now. I continuously have too little time for them, too.

I feel good with this decision.

My photos from the #aaltouniversity #installationtalks - oh wow! (Credit: Aalto University / Mikko Raskingn)

The group photo looks actually like - a school class photo 😀!

Let's see when the video is ready to share - will go to Aalto Youtube.

Today was the day of #aaltouniversity #installationtalks, and I received my certificate for tenured professor (still ”associate professor”, for clarity).

My talk on ”catalysis meets #ALDep” was recorded and will be shared later.

Great day it was - but I’m happy it is behind!

New paper out! Appl. Catal. B: Arandia et al. “Effect of atomic layer deposited zinc promoter on the activity of copper-on-zirconia catalysts in the hydrogenation of carbon dioxide to methanol”. https://t.co/bx9iRK6yUw. Thanks for all coauthors for this fruitful collaboration!

[Riikka Puurunen @rlpuu]

All right, this starts to take shape (& it's time...). To be presented at #aaltouniversity #installationtalks on Wed 26.10.2022. #AaltoCHEM

@AaltoCatalysis This is how it goes 😊

[Riikka Puurunen @rlpuu]

From Haukka et al.: https://t.co/r2GyY8qorL:

"Active catalysts for a variety of reactions have been processed by the ALE method [10-13]." (ALE = atomic layer epitaxy)

Interesting. I knew of some early patens, but actually had not recognized these. #ALDep #ALDepChat

19th Nordic Symposium on Catalysis is happily over (6.-8.6.). Not much tweeting during the event... there is so little time, when you are the organizer! Some stats here.

Plenaries by Centi and @BWeckhuysen were great. Videos perhaps to come later.
