What methods can be used to deposit 20 nm-sized nanoparticles into a 200 nm pore-sized anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) template without the use of any binders?
Thank you for your answer, but I'm looking for a method to deposit nanoparticles inside the AAO template, and i don't want to remove the template; nanoparticles should be adhered permanently inside the AAO template.
One of the main ways is to modify the surface of nanoparticles with functional groups that react with the surface of the pores of aluminum oxide. To do this, you need to know the functional groups of the surface of your nanoparticles. This is not in your question.
