Honeycomb-Patterned Hybrid Films and Their Template Applications via A Tunable Amphiphilic Block Polymer/Inorganic Precursor System

Here, we show a facile and versatile method to prepare highly ordered inorganic patterns on solid substrates by pyrolyzing UV cross-linked polymer/functional precursor hybrid films. The cross-linked polymer matrix acted as structure-directing agent in a pyrolyzing process, whereas the functional precursor was converted into the skeleton of the micropatterns. The inorganic micropatterns could be further catalytically functionalized to grow CNT and ZnO nanorod arrays by simply changing different functional precursors. This simple technique offers new prospects in the field of micropatterns, nanolithography, and template.
