As advanced nanostructured electrodes continue to push boundaries for both high power and high energy, it will become increasingly important to understand how structure on the mesoscale impacts charge transport and electrochemical reactions. Understanding the influence of structure on ionic and electronic transport behavior, as well as its influence on degradation is highly essential to design and control improved electrodes. Here, we describe the fabrication of two types of electrodes; one with electrodes constructed in the most simple cylindrical nanopores - "all-in-one nanopore battery" - and the other with electrodes in controllable 3D interconnecting pore network to propose a strategy for bridging the gap between precision, self-aligned nanostructure electrodes and disordered, high density electrodes. These architectures highlight some of the challenges of characterizing tortuosity and porosity in nanostructures, but also provides an opportunity to work with a systematically variable mesoscale electrode structure.
