Current authors have carried out detailed experimental research on non-lithographic techniques [34] for surface nanostructuring which includes excimer laser nanostructuring [35], electric field-induced nanostructuring [35 37] and trench-template assisted in situ fabrication of nanowires [38].
For trench-template assisted in situ growth of nanowires, v-groove trenches of various diameters and depths were first scribed using electronically controlled diamond scriber onto BSG substrates that are already spin coated by maleic acid.
The nanorice was reproducibly obtained in a standard block copolymer template assisted sol gel route [17] at room temperature without the need of any special reaction conditions.

MWCNT encapsulated by highly porous carbon, also called as Tube-in-Tube carbon (TTC), obtained from hard template assisted synthesis method acts as an efficient host for Se cathode in Li-Se battery.
Template assisted synthesis of boron substituted carbon nanotubes was carried out by the carbonization of hydroborane polymer in alumina membrane template.
Mesoporous tin oxide was prepared by template assisted and template-free methods.
In this paper, novel hierarchical porous reduced graphene oxide/SnO2 (rGO/Snetworksworks that consist of porous SnO2 anchored on graphene scaffold are constructed by a silica template assisted nanocasting process.
However, traditional template assisted methods suffer from complicated synthesis processes as well as the difficulty of removing template.
Carbon based catalysts for the oxidative dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene were prepared by a template assisted route.
Silica nanotubes (SNTs) were synthesized by a nanoporous alumina template assisted sol gel method.
