Synthesis of nanostructured materials using template-assisted electrodeposition

Template-assisted electrodeposition is an important technique for synthesizing metallic nanomaterials with controlled shape and size. Arrays of nanostructured materials with specific arrangements can be prepared by this method, employing either an active or restrictive template as a cathode in an electrochemical cell. An overview of the template-assisted electrodeposition process to synthesize metallic nanostructures is presented in this article
