Electrodeposition of Cu nanowire arrays with a template

Bioelectroanalysis with nanoelectrode ensembles and arrays

“…[25]) shown in Fig. 3, the deposition curve can be divided in three parts [21,26,27] (I-III in Fig. 3) associated with the three steps of deposition sketched below.…”

“…Electrodeposition of metals has been used to obtain nanowires not only of gold, but also of other materials, for example, other metals (Co [21,28,29] Ni [21,26,30] Cu [21,26], Pt and Pd [31]), alloys (NiFe [29], FeSiB [30]), or salts (Bi 2 Te 3 [32], CdS [20]). …”

High rate capabilities Fe3O4-based Cu nano-architectured electrodes for lithium-ion battery applications

“…Furthermore, this inverse spinel exhibits one of the highest electronic conductivities (σ = 2 × 10 4 S m −1 ) of the simple oxides, which is only an order of magnitude less than the minimum metallic conductivity 21 . Using the active material (Fe 3 O 4 ) and current collector metal (Cu), we developed a new, but simple, two-step electrode fabrication process that differs from the previously reported procedures enlisting either template-assisted [22][23][24][25][26] or costly microand photo-lithography techniques. Briefly, our process consists of growing a 3D array of copper nanorods onto a copper foil by electrodeposition through a porous anodic alumina membrane that is subsequently dissolved followed by electrodeposition of magnetite by cathodic reduction of a Fe(iii) chelate precursor in alkaline solution.…”

Co/Cu Nanowire Systems for GMR Sensing Applications

“…The open end of nanopores was arranged to face upwards, i.e. anode over cathode configuration (Konishi et al, 2003) and the deposition area was of 2 cm 2 . Prior to deposition, when the nanoporous membranes were arranged properly, the cell was placed in an ultrasonic agitation bath always for 5 minutes to allow the complete wetting of the www.intechopen.com…”
