Original Abstract

Metal nanostructures (especially nanotubes) are created by a single template-assisted method using electrodeposition of a metal on a conductive substrate which is covered by a nanoporous non-conductive structure. After that, the nanoporous non-conductive structure, which serves as the template during the electroplating process, is removed and only the metal nanotubes remain. The nanoporous non-conductive structure is produced by anodization of aluminium. Aluminium (as well as titanium) exhibits a self-assembling ability which occurs during anodization under specific conditions. This ability enables to create the template which contains hexagon-ally arrayed nanopores.
