Electrochemical Deposition and Formation Mechanism of Single-Crystalline Cu2O Octahedra on Aluminum
نویسندگان
چکیده
A simple electrochemical deposition was developed to synthesize the cuprous oxide (Cu(2)O) octahedra on aluminum foils. The average edge length of the octahedra is about 300 nm. The chemical composition of the octahedra was determined using energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and electron energy-loss spectroscopy. The microstructure of the octahedra was investigated using transmission electron microscopy. The formation mechanism of the octahedra is proposed.

Cu(2)O nanowires in an alumina template: electrochemical conditions for the synthesis and photoluminescence characteristics.
Cu2O nanowires, mainly consisting of (100) and (200) polycrystalline structures with a length of 4 mum are prepared by electrochemical deposition using a porous alumina template. It is found that the optimized electrochemical conditions to prepare Cu2O nanowires are different from those for the formation of a bulk thin Cu2O layer since different pH values are found between the tip of the pores ...
متن کاملEffect of Synthesis Temperature on the Electrochemical Properties of Yttrium Aluminum Garnet
In this study, yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) was prepared using a facile electrochemical technique. Four samples were synthesized in 0, 20, 40 and 60°C by electrochemical pulse deposition and were then calcined at 1200°C. The effect of synthesis temperature on morphology and structure of YAG was studied using X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron micro...

In this study, two layers: i-ZnO nanorods and p-Cu2O were fabricated by electrochemical deposition. The fabricating process was the initial formation of ZnO nanorods layer on the n-IGZO thin film which was prepared by sputtering method, then a p-Cu2O layer was deposited on top of rods to form the p-Cu2O/i-ZnO nanorods/n-ZnO heterojunction. The XRD, SEM, UV-VIS, I-V characteristics methods were ...
متن کاملEngineering single crystalline Mn3O4 nano-octahedra with exposed highly active {011} facets for high performance lithium ion batteries.
Well shaped single crystalline Mn3O4 nano-octahedra with exposed highly active {011} facets at different particle sizes have been synthesized and used as anode materials for lithium ion batteries. The electrochemical results show that the smallest sized Mn3O4 nano-octahedra show the best cycling performance with a high initial charge capacity of 907 mA h g(-1) and a 50th charge capacity of 500 ...
متن کاملOzone-Based Atomic Layer Deposition of Crystalline V2O5 Films for High Performance Electrochemical Energy Storage
A new atomic layer deposition (ALD) process for V2O5 using ozone (O3) as oxidant has been developed that resulted in crystalline V2O5 thin films which are single-phase and orthorhombic on various substrates (silicon, Au-coated stainless steel, and anodic aluminum oxide (AAO)) without any thermal post-treatment. Within a fairly narrow temperature window (170−185 °C), this low temperature process...
