TEM micrographs of YSZ NTs grown by repeating a full ALD cycle consisting of 1 yttria and 7 zirconia sub-cycles. a Low-magnification image, exhibiting a high aspect-ratio of over 120, 110 nm in diameter, and 14 μm in length. Note that one distal end is open. b The lattice image, showing that the YSZ-NTs are formed with well-crystallized nanometer sized grains of less than 10 nm in diameter, as grown. c The selected electron area diffraction (SEAD) patterns are consistent with cubic phase of zirconia (JCPDS #30-1468). d EDS elemental line profiles across a YSZ NT also confirmed Y-doped ZrO2
