Abstract
The aim of this research is to investigate and analyses the characteristics of Atomic Layer
deposition (ADL) and Atomic Precise Dot deposition (APD2) and how they compare in their
complex structure. Atomic layer deposition therefore uses the gaseous processes which is
effective and efficient whereas the atomic precise dot deposition uses the wet-processes since it
can form dots by use of metallic-ions. The combination of the two processes above seeks to
establish a better-quality product that will help solve the obsolete techniques that were inherent
in the earlier years.
Introduction
Battery is globally used as a gadget for energy storage. The energy is stored in the form of
chemical (rechargeable battery). During electrochemical processes, the chemical energy is
transformed into electrical energy. These energy conversions have promoted the use of electronic
batteries (Stoychev et al., 2013).
Electronic battery therefore, refers to a gadget that comprises an electrochemical cell or several
cells in electrochemical form connected externally to generate electric power to some gadgets
like technologically advanced phones, power driven cars etc. Electronic battery has two
terminals that helps in the electric transmission of power. That is, cathode and anode. Cathode is
the positively charged terminal whereas anode is the negatively charged terminal. Cathode
produces negatively charged ions called electrons (Luo et al., 2013). These electrons produce
electric power during the external connection, hence the molecular conductance theory.

In the earlier years people were using the electron driven batteries as compared in the recent
years where people have shifted the attention from electron generated electron driven batteries to
ion-driven chemical batteries (Huang et al., 2015).
Differences between electronic batteries and other forms of batteries
The electronic batteries are rechargeable when they get discharged whereas other forms of
battery like alkaline batteries used in torches are used once and disposed.
Electronic batteries are used to power moving machines like motor vehicle while other forms of
batteries (primary batteries) are used to power portable gadgets.
Electronic batteries use liquid electrolyte to produce electric energy as compared to dry cell
batteries that uses irreplaceable paste electrolyte (So et al., 2013).
The superconductors that were used on the earlier years had several defects and were obsolete.
Additionally, thermoelectric was not spared from these effects. This brought a lot more problems
on the energy usage to humanity. Therefore, to address these problems experts have enhanced
the level of their studies by creating high-level temperature superconductors and thermoelectric
substance that produces power from low temperatures variations effectively. Further, there has
been proposal for more advanced scientific studies on these old methods and invention of new
technologies (Colson & Dichtel, 2013). All these have been beneficial to humanity.
This has led to the invention of thin-film deposition methods like Atomic Layer Deposition
(ALD) and Atomically Precise Dot deposition (APD2). The Atomic Layer Deposition method
refers to successive use of gaseous material in stages in a chemical activity. That is, ALD is
vapor stage activity that can produce thin-films of diverse materials. ALD is important in fitting
together of semi-conductor gadgets and combination of nano-materials (Parvez et al., 2014).
