By developing aerosol vapour assisted chemical vapour deposition (AACVD) techniques, Blackman and coworkers have deposited gold nanoparticles on the surface of WO3 nanoneedles in a single step. This method involves a codeposition using a precursor solution, which is deposited on a substrate in the form of an aerosol. Control over the nucleation and growth kinetics is realised by careful consideration of the deposition temperature and reactant concentration. Again, the choice of...
