Anodic alumina thin‐film templates of unprecedented quality are fabricated on ITO/glass, silicon, and flexible substrates over 2 cm 2 areas, of interest for devices. For the first time, free‐standing nanorods of a variety of oxides and metals are reproducibly synthesized over large areas on ITO/glass by electrochemical deposition into the vertically aligned nanopores of the templates, followed by template removal.
