Abstract:
1. A method for the manufacture of structures on a substrate surface, said method comprising the steps of: (a) providing a reaction solution, said reaction solution comprising a silicate, a micelle forming agent, an alkane, a salt, and at least 1.4 M HCl, said reaction solution having a pH of 2 or lower; (b) stirring the reaction solution in step (a) for not more than 5 minutes, and wherein the stirring is performed at a temperature of 20° C.; (c) bringing the reaction solution from step (b) into contact with said substrate surface during which time the structures are manufactured on the substrate surface; and (d) treating material obtained in step (c) to remove said micelle forming agent with a method selected from the group consisting of heat treating the material above 300° C., treating the material with at least one compound selected from the group consisting of H wherein the manufactured structures on said substrate surface at least partially comprise at least one elongated structure, wherein each of the elongated structures comprises a plurality of channels, said channels extending in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the elongated structure, wherein said channels extend from the substrate surface outwards in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the elongated structure, and wherein said at least one elongated structure comprises silicon dioxide.
