Atomic layer deposition (ALD) is a self-limiting synthesis technique for the growth of conformal ultrathin films on solid state materials. The high conformality of the ALD method is ideal for coating porous, high surface area materials. A fluidized bed reactor (FBR) was designed and built for functionalizing a powder using ALD. The particle bed was fluidized using an inert argon gas. Aluminum oxide (Al 2 O 3) was deposited on a high surface area powder substrate, γ-phase aluminum oxide, via ALD

A BET analysis was done on the powder to confirm deposition of Al 2 O 3 on the powder. Less coating was observed on the particles in comparison to literature. iii Acknowledgments
