An impermeable copper surface monolayer with high-temperature oxidation resistance by Su Jae Kim, Young-Hoon Kim, Bipin Lamichhane, Binod Regmi, Yousil Lee, Sang-Hyeok Yang, Seon Je Kim, Min-Hyoung Jung, Jae Hyuck Jang, Hu Young Jeong, Miaofang Chi, Maeng-Je Seong, Hak Soo Choi, Seong-Gon Kim, Young-Min Kim, Se-Young Jeong

“…The introduction of anchoring elements to reinforce Cu–O bonds enables the formation of an atomically thin barrier on the Cu surface, rendering it impermeable to O even at high temperatures (400 °C) while preserving its intrinsic conductivity. This oxidation resistance, facilitated by the impermeable atomic monolayer, opens promising opportunities for researchers and industries to overcome limitations associated with the use of oxidizable metal films.…”
