Abstract

Methods and apparatus for electrophoretic fabricating freestanding all nanoparticle thin films, and the resulting compositions of matter, are described. A method includes electrophoretically depositing a thin film of nanoparticles on a sacrificial layer; and freeing the thin film from the sacrificial layer. A composition of matter includes a free standing thin film of nanoparticles with no functionalized nanoparticles or chemical cross linkers.
