Abstract
A device may include a metallic substrate and a plurality of nanorod arrays arranged on the substrate. The nanorod arrays may be made of porous metallic nanostructures and may appear black in color.
Claims20
A device comprising:
- a metallic substrate;
- a plurality of nanorod arrays arranged on the substrate;
- wherein the nanorod arrays porous metallic nanostructures and appear black in color.
A method for forming black metallic nanorod arrays, comprising:
- forming metal oxide nanorod arrays on a metallic substrate;
- spreading Mg on the metal oxide nanorod arrays;
- heating the metal oxide nanorod arrays with Mg, resulting in metallic nanorod arrays;
- removing excess Mg and MgO from the metallic nanorod arrays;
- and
- drying the metallic nanorod arrays.
