: Two-dimensional ordered arrays of honeycomb
morphology of platinum are fabricated by using anodized
aluminum oxide template and metal sputtering methods. The
resulting metal films are highly conductible (71 ?/sq),
stretchable (16.8%), and transparent (75.2% at 550 nm).
The presented synthetic strategy is scalable to large area
without noticeable defects by incorporating the deposition of a
thin layer of silver. In addition, both the pore size and wall
thickness of platinum nanomesh films are straightforwardly controlled with sputtering time. As a proof of concept, the metal
nanomesh films using AAO template suggest a new concept of synthesizing transparent and stretchable metal electrodes for
future electronic devices.
