Confined conversion of CuS nanowires to CuO nanotubes by annealing-induced diffusion in nanochannels
نویسندگان
چکیده
Copper oxide (CuO) nanotubes were successfully converted from CuS nanowires embedded in anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) template by annealing-induced diffusion in a confined tube-type space. The spreading of CuO and formation of CuO layer on the nanochannel surface of AAO, and the confinement offered by AAO nanochannels play a key role in the formation of CuO nanotubes.

Highly aligned Cu2O, Cu2O/CuO, Cu2O/CuO/TiO2 and Cu2O/TiO2 nanowires arrays on Au substrates were prepared by controlled air annealing of the electrodeposited Cu nanowires and furthered with dip coating. Photoelectrochemical investigations were carried out to determine their potential as photocathodes for water photo-reduction. The photocurrent of the Cu2O nanowires photocathode was found to be...
متن کاملSynthesis of large-area and aligned copper oxide nanowires from copper thin film on silicon substrate
Large-area and aligned copper oxide nanowires have been synthesized by thermal annealing of copper thin films deposited onto silicon substrate. The effects of the film deposition method, annealing temperature, film thickness, annealing gas, and patterning by photolithography are systematically investigated. Long and aligned nanowires can only be formed within a narrow temperature range from 400...
متن کاملSynthesis of Sn doped CuO nanotubes from core-shell Cu/SnO(2) nanowires by the Kirkendall effect.
Sn doped CuO nanotubes were synthesized by thermal oxidization of Cu/SnO(2) core-shell nanowires in air through the Kirkendall effect. The Cu/SnO(2) core-shell nanowires were sequentially electrodeposited by forming a SnO(2) shell followed by electrodeposition of the Cu core. After thermal treatment in air, the core-shell Cu/SnO(2) (13 +/- 2 nm thick shell on 128 +/- 15 nm in diameter core) nan...

A facile top-down/bottom-up hybrid nanofabrication process based on programmable temperature control and parallel chemical supply within microfluidic platform has been developed for the all liquid-phase synthesis of heterogeneous nanomaterial arrays. The synthesized materials and locations can be controlled by local heating with integrated microheaters and guided liquid chemical flow within mic...
متن کاملUltrafast diffusion of Ionic Liquids Confined in Carbon Nanotubes
Over the past decade many works have focused on various aspects of the dynamics of liquids confined at the nanoscale such as e.g. water flow enhancement through carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Transport of room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) through various nanochannels has also been explored and some conflicting findings about their translational dynamics have been reported. In this work, we focus...
