What is Noncovalent Deposition of Nanoporous Ni Membranes on Spatially Organized Poly(p-xylylene) Film Templates about?

Nickel metal is widely used in catalytic, [1,2] energy storage, [3,4] and optical applications [5,6] due to its favorable physicochemical properties. Although Ni morphology, topology, and surface chemistry are critically important for these applications, their control is limited by: 1) Ni deposition conditions and treatments, [7][8][9] and 2) properties and available architectures of sacrificial metallization templates, [1,6,[10][11][12][13] which are usually removed by (thermo)chemical treatments after plating. In this regard, we have been exploring poly(p-xylylene) nanostructured thin films (NTFs) formed through vaporphase polymerization and directed deposition of [2.2]paracyclophane derivatives [14,15] (Fig. 1A) as new metallization templates. Proper selection of the deposition geometry and conditions and the [2.2]paracyclophane derivative permits exquisite, simultaneous control of film morphology, topology, and surface chemistry, yielding NTFs with diverse, well-organized porous structures (Fig. 1B-C). Here, we present our initial results relating to the fabrication and characterization of nanoporous Ni membranes templated by conformal electroless (EL) metallization of poly(chl
