The templating process usually involves several key steps:
1. Template Preparation: The first step is to prepare the template, which can be done through various methods such as electrochemical deposition, self-assembly, or lithography.
2. Material Deposition: The next step is to deposit the desired material onto the template. This can be achieved through techniques like chemical vapor deposition (CVD), atomic layer deposition (ALD), or sol-gel processes.
3. Template Removal: After the material has been deposited, the template is removed to leave behind the desired nanostructure. This can be done through chemical etching, calcination, or dissolution.
