Abstract Silver nanorods were fabricated using a porous anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) template by an ink-jet printing process. The highly arrayed AAO template was prepared to infiltrate silver nano particles by an anodization method. The ink-jet printing unit is equipped with a piezoelectric nozzle with a 50 um orifice from Microfab technology. The morphology and crystal structure of the silver nanorods were confirmed by field emission scanning electron microscopy and x-ray diffraction pattern, respectively. The diameter of the silver nanorods was about 60 nm, which was consistent with that the diameter distribution of the AAO template.
