Zusammenfassung:In one embodiment, a method for fabricating a metal microstructure includes forming a non-conductive polymer membrane having a plurality of pores, coating at least one end of the membrane and inner surfaces of the pores with a conductive material to form a conductive coating, electrodepositing a metal on the conductive coating, and dissolving the membrane to obtain a free-standing metal microstructure having at least one metal end plate and multiple elongated metal members extending therefrom.
