چکیده

An effective one-step method has been developed to synthesize CuPd bimetallic nanowire networks. Investigation of the growth process revealed that the nanowires were formed by attachment of spherical particles and strongly influenced by interactions between surface ligands and metals. The morphology of CuPd nanoparticles is tuned via changing the molecular weight of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and solvents. The versatility of this method was further demonstrated by preparation of AgPd nanowires. An electrochemical study of CuPd nanowire networks shows morphology dependent activity in oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), which is comparable to that of platinum.

Electrochemical fabrication of Cu/Pd multilayer nanowires in polycarbonate template

  In this work,copper/palladium (Cu/Pd) multilayer nanowires were successfully prepared by electrodeposition method using polycarbonate template. The fabrication of Pd/Cu multilayer nanowires was controlled by analyzing the current–time transient during electrodeposition using potentiostat. The morphological properties of the nanowires were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and resu...
