Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for forming a film comprising multiple layers of nanostructured support elements.SOLUTION: A method for forming a film comprising multiple layers of nanostructured support elements is described. A first layer of nanostructured support elements is formed by depositing a base material on a substrate and annealing. Further growth of the first layer of nanostructures is then inhibited. Additional layers of nanostructured support elements may be grown on the first layer of nanostructures through additional deposition and annealing steps. The multilayered film provides an increased surface area and is particularly useful in a device where catalyst activity is related to the surface area available to support catalyst particles.
