AB  - Nanoporous conformal coating is an important class of materials for 
      electrocatalysis, water purification, antireflective coatings, etc. Common 
      synthesis methods of porous films often require harsh conditions (high 
      temperature and high plasma power) or specific substrate materials. Here, we 
      report a plasma-enhanced sequential infiltration synthesis (PE SIS) as a 
      new platform toward deposition of nanoporous inorganic films. PE SIS is based on 
      oxygen-plasma-induced rapid conversion of metal precursors selectively adsorbed 
      in a block-copolymer template. Porosity and thickness of resulting materials can 
      be easily controlled by characteristics of the template. PE SIS is conducted 
      under gentle conditions, and can be applied to a broad range of substrates, 
      including water-sensitive surfaces. PE SIS offers adventurous rapid infiltration 
      with improved ability to obtain highly interconnected porous alumina films with 
      thicknesses up to 5 mum. We show that full infiltration of the polar domain of the 
      polymer template can be achieved upon initial exposure to TMA, followed by its 
      oxygen-plasma-induced conversion into a functional material. Since different 
      types of plasma (such as oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, etc.) induce conversion of a 
      broad range of metal precursors, PE SIS opens a new approach for synthesis of 
      highly porous materials with various elemental compositions and stoichiometries.
