From Nanosize Silica Spheres to Three-Dimensional Colloidal Crystals

  • Chapter
Ordered Porous Nanostructures and Applications

Part of the book series: Nanostructure Science and Technology ((NST))

6.6. Concluding Remarks

Although a variety of preparation methods have been developed, the creation of high quality periodic 3D porous structures, preferably over large areas, uniformly and at low cost, is still a challenging problem. Problems associated with template assisted fabrication of porous structures include preparation of a high quality template, complete filling of the voids in the template and the minimization of shrinkage upon template removal by heating or etching. Since any of these factors can influence the final quality of the porous structure, all these requirements must be fulfilled at the same time.

Devices based on porous titania such as photo-voltaic cells, gas sensors or electrochromic displays have attracted considerable attention in recent years. The efficiency of such devices is enhanced by a precise control of pore size and distribution. Sol-gel fabrication routes offer both low cost and great flexibility in the fabrication of periodic porous 3D structures.
