Abstract:

  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 result showed that almost each nanowire had the same length of ≈ 4 μm and the diameter of 90 nm .X-ray diffraction pattern showed that Pd and Cu grow in their face-centered-cubic (fcc) lattice structures.The chemical composition was determined by examination of the energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectra .

Electrochemical template synthesis of multisegment nanowires: fabrication and protein functionalization.

Multisegment nanowires represent a unique platform for engineering multifunctional nanoparticles for a wide range of applications. For example, the optical and magnetic properties of nanowires can be tailored by modifying the size, shape, and composition of each segment. Similarly, surface modification can be used to tailor chemical and biological properties. In this article, we report on recen...

Fabrication of ultrahigh-density nanowires by electrochemical nanolithography

An approach has been developed to produce silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) rapidly on semiconductor wafers using electrochemical deposition. The closely packed AgNPs have a density of up to 1.4 × 1011 cm-2 with good size uniformity. AgNPs retain their shape and position on the substrate when used as nanomasks for producing ultrahigh-density vertical nanowire arrays with controllable size, making it...

Fabrication of silicon nanowires

Pentagon-shaped silicon wires with linewidth around 300 nm are successfully fabricated by using the Si/SiGe epitaxy technique, reactive ion etching, and subsequent selective chemical etching. The nanowires are oxidized in wet O2 at 750 ◦C and 850 ◦C. The oxide and interface morphology are characterized by cross-sectional scanning electron microscope images. It is found that the oxidized nanowir...

Fabrication of cobalt-nickel binary nanowires in a highly ordered alumina template via AC electrodeposition

Cobalt-nickel (Co-Ni) binary alloy nanowires of different compositions were co-deposited in the nanopores of highly ordered anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) templates from a single sulfate bath using alternating current (AC) electrodeposition. AC electrodeposition was accomplished without modifying or removing the barrier layer. Field emission scanning electron microscope was used to study the morph...

Template-grown metal nanowires.

The growth of metal nanowires using membranes as hard templates is reviewed. The method provides access to arrays of single-crystal metal nanowires and to quasi-one-dimensional metal nanostructures with controlled compositional variation along their length. Recent applications of these kinds of nanowires to problems in superconductivity, optical spectroscopy and sensing, and catalytic conversio...

Electrochemical fabrication of conducting polymer nanowires in an integrated microfluidic system.

In this paper, we introduce a new approach for the in situ electrochemical fabrication of an individually addressable array of conducting polymer nanowires (CPNWs) positioned within an integrated microfluidic device and also demonstrate that such an integrated device can be used as a chemical sensor immediately after its construction.
