“…Other metals, for example Cu [39], Pd [40], and Ni-P [41] can also be deposited in polycarbonate templates by electroless deposition. In this case the procedure must be suitable for the desired metal.…”

This review deals with recent advances in bioelectroanalytical applications of nanostructured electrodes, in particular nanoelectrode ensembles (NEEs) and arrays (NEAs). First, nanofabrication techniques, principles of function, and specific advantages and limits of NEEs and NEAs are critically discussed. In the second part, some recent examples of bioelectroanalytical applications are presented. These include use of nanoelectrode arrays and/or ensembles for direct electrochemical analysis of pharmacologically active organic compounds or redox proteins, and the development of functionalized nanoelectrode systems and their use as catalytic or affinity electrochemical biosensors.

“…When the voltage is supplied, metal nuclei appear on the ring electrode in the bottom pore part, which replicates the electrode shape, forms a ring around golden cathode, and sets the tubular NSs shape (Figure 2(a)). Nuclei appear simultaneously in active zones on the surfaces of the pore walls, which contain defects, dangling bonds, and so on; these active zones are the result of chemical or physical activation, for example, in the course of pore formation in the ion-track-etched membranes and UV sensibilization [32]. The intensive nuclei formation reduces the concentration of metal ions inside the pore and, therefore, leads to a substantial decrease of the deposition current (see Figure 1(b)).…”

Due to the Ni nanotubes' shape anisotropy, low specific density, large specific surface, and uniform magnetic field, they have been offered as carriers for targeted delivery of drug or protein and the process of their formation from synthesis stage to the stage of surface modification and protein attaching has been demonstrated. Some steps to hasten their biomedical application have been applied. First, to have full control over the carrier dimensions and structure parameters, electrodeposition method in pores of polyethylene terephthalate template has been applied. Second, to understand the scope of Ni nanostructures application, their degradation in media with different acidity has been studied. Third, to improve the biocompatibility and to make payloads attachment possible, nanotubes surface modification with organosilicon compound has been carried out. At last, the scheme of protein attaching to the nanostructure surface has been developed and the binding process was demonstrated as an example of the bovine serum albumin.

“…Electrochemistry can be used in combination with electroless deposition, where slow electroless plating (no mass transfer limitations) allows for a uniform metallic film. The metal deposition occurs uniformly at the pore walls creating hollow metallic nanotubes inside the pores [103][104][105][106][107][108]. For multiscale nanostructures such as nanotubes, nanofibers, and nanocables, it is important to know which characteristic length scale, nm or μm, governs the deposition process [109].…”

A variety of nanostructured materials are produced through template-based synthesis methods, including zerodimensional, one-dimensional, and two-dimensional structures. These span different forms such as nanoparticles, nanowires, nanotubes, nanoflakes, and nanosheets. Many physical characteristics of these materials such as the shape and size can be finely controlled through template selection and as a result, their properties as well. Reviewed here are several examples of these nanomaterials, with emphasis specifically on the templates and synthesis routes used to produce the final nanostructures. In the first section, the templates have been discussed while in the second section, their corresponding synthesis methods have been briefly reviewed, and lastly in the third section, applications of the materials themselves are highlighted. Some examples of the templates frequently encountered are organic structure directing agents, surfactants, polymers, carbon frameworks, colloidal sol-gels, inorganic frameworks, and nanoporous membranes. Synthesis methods that adopt these templates include emulsion-based routes and template-filling approaches, such as self-assembly, electrodeposition, electroless deposition, vapor deposition, and other methods including layer-by-layer and lithography. Templatebased synthesized nanomaterials are frequently encountered in select fields such as solar energy, thermoelectric materials, catalysis, biomedical applications, and magnetowetting of surfaces.
