Micropatterning techniques independent
of high-cost facilities
are highly appreciated in bioanalysis and optoelectronics. Here we
report a novel nonlithographic method based on self-assembled honeycomb
films with through pores for micropatterning of zinc oxide nanowires
(ZnO NWs). The ordered films were prepared via the breath figure method
and used as templates for the solution growth of ZnO NWs. The resultant
ZnO NW micropatterns were characterized by scanning electron microscopy,
energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry, X-ray diffraction, high-resolution
transmission electron microscopy, and photoluminescence spectrometry.
Room-temperature photoluminescence spectra indicate that the micropatterned
ZnO NWs show greatly enhanced near-band-edge emission and have potential
as high-efficiency blue or near-UV light emitters. This facile and
versatile approach is further demonstrated by templating biomimetic
hydroxyapatite and silver nanoparticles on polydopamine-coated substrates.
This work provides an alternative route to fabricating micropatterned
functional surfaces at low cost and high efficiency.
