Vapor deposition methods are vital in semiconductors and energy but face limitations like slow speed, high costs, and complexity. We present a universal, ultrafast thermal radiative vapor deposition (TRVD) platform to synthesize multi-scale metals (Cu, Fe, Co, Ni, Ga) in seconds. Compared to traditional vapor deposition methods, TRVD drastically reduces energy/water use, emissions, and costs, offering sustainable industrial-scale synthesis.
