Abstract
The invention concerns a nanowire structural element which is suited for implementation in, for example, a microreactor system or microcatalyzer system. For the production of the nanowire structural element, a template based process is used wherein the electrochemical deposition of the nanowires in nanopores is ideally carried out at least until caps are formed and said caps ideally are at least partially merged together. After reinforcing the two cover layers the structured hollow chamber between the two cover layers is cleared by dissolving the template foil and removing the dissolved template material, wherein the two cover layers remain intact. In this manner, a stable sandwich-like nanostructure is constructed with a two-dimensional hollow chamber-like structure in the plane parallel to the cover layers contained on both sides by the cover layers and permeated in a column-like manner with nanowires.
