We have demonstrated the ability to apply thin conformal films onto complex nanostructures using a polymer assisted deposition technique. Sequestering the metal by binding it to a polymer results in a bottom-up growth process that leads to conformal film deposition. We have deposited a thin film of the phosphor Eu:YVO4 on 60 μm thick anodiscs® with 200 nm pores resulting in highly luminescent nanostructures.
