I am involved in nanobattery research and I am trying to find a way to cover the pores of an anodic aluminia membrane with a conductive surface. The problem is that these pores are only 60-70 nanometers wide. Any one who knows anything about nanobatteries will understand my problem. Currently the way that I am charging and discharging nano batteries is to sputter graphite particle on to the electroyte filed pores. However the sputtered particles are almost always a micron wide. I need to either find a wasy to sputter smaller particles or find a btter way to make idividual conductive particles over an ordered anodic aluminia membrane.
If you have any ideas or know if this has been done before please email me any information.
