SCALABLE FABRICATION OF ONE-DIMENSIONAL AND THREE-DIMENSIONAL, CONDUCTING, NANOSTRUCTURED TEMPLATES FOR DIVERSE APPLICATIONS SUCH AS BATTERY ELECTRODES FOR NEXT GENERATION BATTERIES

摘要

Articles including an array of one-dimensional or three-dimensional nanopillar arrays disposed on a substrate and methods for the formation thereof. The methods can include filling a plurality of hollow nanopillars, which are supported on a substrate, with a first conductive material and removing the plurality of hollow nanopillars to leave a plurality of vertically-aligned, epitaxial nanopillars, comprising the first conductive material, on the substrate.
