A schematic illustration of the development of well ordered network Au from templated electroless plating using gyroid-structured PS–PDMS as a template. (a) The nanoporous PS template, formed from self-assembled PS–PDMS followed by hydrogen fluoride acid etching of the PDMS. (b) Nucleation of the Au nanoparticle by templated electroless plating. (c) The growth of tripod Au from the Au nanoparticle. (d) Branching of the tripod Au. (e) The formation of gyroid-structured Au.
