A quasi two-dimension electrodeposition method was used to prepare materials with arborized, tree-shaped, and membrane patterned micro/nano-structures. The morphology of the membrane patterned micro/nano-structure was characterized using scanning electron microscopy, and a mechanism for the morphology formation was suggested. The novel preparation method used in this study, which is proprietary to our research group, does not require a template and so has many advantages including controllable, low cost, large scale preparation. The electrolyte concentration and electrodeposition voltage had a significant effect on the resulting morphology.
