Electrodeposited Au/FeAu Nanowires with Controlled Porosity
نویسندگان
چکیده
Multilayer nanowires tailored with alternating AuFe porous layers and Au nonporous segments were fabricated by galvanic square-wave pulsed electrodeposition from a AuFe cyanide-free electrolyte. Control of porosity and composition was achieved via modulation in pulsed time and applied current density. Nanowires with decreased porosity were observed upon increasing time of the AuFe alloy layer or shifting the applied current density to more negative values. This transition was consistent with an increased amount of material being deposited. The single-step approach presented is less time-consuming than conventionally fabricated nanoporous materials, requiring additional etching of prefabricated solid alloys. © 2009 The Electrochemical Society.

Influence of Citric and Ascorbic Acids on Electrodeposited Au/FeAu Multilayer Nanowires
AuFe electrodeposits onto a rotating disk electrode were examined to assess the composition and current efficiency behavior when citric acid, ascorbic acid, or a combination of both is present in the electrolyte. Nanowires were subsequently fabricated with pulsed current deposition to create compositionally, multilayered Au/FeAu nanowires. The FeAu layer of the nanowires was porous in a citrate...

BACKGROUND Multicomponent heterostructure nanowires and nanogaps are of great interest for applications in sensorics. Pulsed electrodeposition in ion-track etched polymer templates is a suitable method to synthesise segmented nanowires with segments consisting of two different types of materials. For a well-controlled synthesis process, detailed analysis of the deposition parameters and the siz...

Monodisperse crystalline zero-valent iron, iron-nickel, iron-palladium nanowires were synthesised using template-directed electrodeposition methods. Prior to nanowire fabrication, alumina nanotemplates with controlled pore structure (e.g. pore diameter and porosity) were fabricated by anodising high purity aluminium foil in sulphuric acid. After fabrication of alumina nanotemplates, iron, iron-...
