Abstract
Platinum nanotubular membrane can be straightforwardly fabricated by Pt coating the inside of anodic alumina membranes (AAO) using atomic layer deposition (ALD). However, the high-aspect-ratio of AAO makes ALD very challenging. By tuning the process temperature and precursor exposure time for ALD, enhanced conformal coating and infiltration depth of the deposited Pt was achieved inside the AAO templates. Cross-sectional scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and small angle neutron scattering were employed to analyze the Pt coverage and thickness inside the AAO nanopores, respectively. Additionally, one application of platinum nanotubular membrane was demonstrated by creating a high-density protein-functionalized interface.
