The ability to precisely define and manufacture structures in the nanometer range over large areas is subject to one of the greatest efforts in the semiconductor industry. This work investigates the feasibility of nano-transfer printing and nanoimprint lithography as reliable and reproducible methods for the fabrication of metal nanoelectrode arrays for energy conversion applications with a focus on heterogeneous electrocatalysis. The efficiency of a photoelectrochemical solar cells that convert carbon-dioxide directly to carbon fuels can be highly increased by implementing well-defined nanostructured catalyst materials.
