Abstract

Honeycomb-patterned films were prepared by using orderly arranged water droplets as templates. By using the honeycomb-patterned films as templates, Pt/Pd metal microdot arrays were formed on solid substrates. Silver layer was formed on the Pt/Pd layer by electroless deposition, and then, the microdiscs of Ag were obtained by removing the substrate.
