Thin, Conformal, and Continuous SnO2 Coatings on Three-Dimensional Biosilica Templates through Hydroxy-Group Amplifica tion and Layer-By-Layer Alkoxide Deposition

摘要

Appreciable effort is underway to develop robust protocols for synthesizing functional nanostructured assemblies. Desired characteristics for such protocols include precise control of structure (down to the nanoscale), versatile control of chemistry (for tailored functionality), and massively parallel assembly (for large-scale manufacturing). The pre cise, versatile, and scalable fabrication of functional nano-structured assemblies, particularly those with intricate 3D morphologies, remains a significant challenge for nanotech nology.
