The Fe nanowires were prepared by Ac electrodeposition method. The two steps anodized aluminum oxides (alumina) were used as templates for electrodeposition of magnetic nanowires. Sulfuric acid was used to anodize aluminum. The pours diameter and growth rate of alumina were investigated. The FeSO4 electrolyte was used for growth of nanowires. The prepared magnetic nanowires were characterized b...

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...

High energy and safe electrochemical storage are critical components in multiple emerging fields of technologies. Rechargeable lithium-metal batteries are considered to be promising alternatives for current lithium-ion batteries, leading to as much as a 10-fold improvement in anode storage capacity (from 372 to 3860 mAh g-1). One of the major challenges for commercializing lithium-metal batteri...

This study examined the characteristics of calcium phosphate coatings formed on untreated and H2O2-treated titanium substrates by electrodeposition in a modified simulated body fluid (SBF). A porous coating comprising of mainly hydroxyapatite (HA) was formed on the H2O2-treated titanium substrate by electrodeposition. This coating was transformed into carbonate and calcium-deficient HA layers w...

Electrodeposition of platinum and silver into hydrophobic and hydrophilic microporous silicon layers was investigated using chemically-modified microporous silicon electrodes. Hydrophobic microporous silicon enhanced the electrodeposition of platinum in the porous layer. Meanwhile hydrophilic one showed that platinum was hardly deposited within the porous layer and a filmy growth of platinum on...

This work shows that pulse electrodeposition employing a rejection cycle enables the co-deposition of non-conducting polymers, thereby yielding hybrid films demonstrate an enhanced and excellent CO 2 sorption performance.

Composite electrochemical coatings (CECs) on the basis of nickel modified with multilayer graphene oxide (GO) were deposited from a sulfate–chloride electrolyte in pulsed electrolysis mode. The microstructure these CECs was studied by X-ray phase analysis and scanning electron microscopy. It found that microhardness nickel–GO increases approximately 1.40 times compared to pure nickel. corrosion...
