Patterned Production of Silver−Mesoporous Titania Nanocomposite Thin Films Using Lithography-Assisted Metal Reduction
journal contribution
posted on 2009-04-29, 00:00 authored by Eduardo D. Martínez, Martín G. Bellino, Galo J. A. A. Soler-IlliaA simple method that allows selective positioning of nanoparticles into mesoporous monolayer or multilayer thin films is presented. This technique applies UV lithography in order to bring about in situ light-induced reduction of silver in templated cavities of TiO2. The nanoparticle lithography presented here provides a novel approach to hierarchical lithography patterning for multifunctional devices.
