Nanotubes of TiO 2 and ZrO 2 (see Figure) with diameters of ca. 30–200 nm have been successfully fabricated by atomic layer deposition in a one‐step process utilizing nanoporous membranes (commercial polycarbonate filters) as templates. Sub‐angstrom wall thickness control and high aspect ratios can be achieved by this method.
