Abstract
Three-dimensional (3-d) gold microstructures with complex architecture were synthesized from silica-based diatom microshells (frustules) using shape preserving template process based on electroless metal (gold) deposition. Diatom frustules were replicated into gold microstructures with a high-precision, entirely preserving their shape and micro and nanoscale porous features.
