“…PAA has found increasing diffusion as a template for nanostructured materials [20,31,41,45,47,48], for applications in microelectronics [49,50], solar cells [30,[51][52][53], filtration [16,54,55], batteries [56][57][58][59], separation of biomolecules [60,61], catalysts [62,63], and other bio-medical sectors [64,65]. The success of PAA as the template is due to its easy dissolution after the filling up of the pores, leading to 1D parallel and perpendicular nanostructures.…”
