Synthesis and characterization of patterned and nonpatterned copper and nickel nanowire arrays on silicon substrate

FESEM studies of densely packed aligned nickel nanopillars on silicon substrate by electrochemical deposition through porous alumina membrane

“…Also this group has reported the pore-directed growth of Pt nanowire [12] as well as MnO 2 nanowire arrays [13] on metalcoated Si substrate. Similarly Sharma et al [14] have reported the electrochemical growth of Ni/Cu nanowire arrays within alumina pores supported by Si substrate for various applications. Apart from these, according to best of our knowledge, there is no other report on the pore-directed growth of nanowires/rods/pillars on Si substrate.…”

Synthesis of NiMo/Al2O3 Nanocatalyst by one pot Co-impregnation Route

“…CoMo/Al2O3 or NiMo/Al2O3 is widely used to remove sulfur, nitrogen, oxygen, metals and other contaminants from crude oil fraction under operating conditions. In these mixed catalysts, Mo can work as an active component enhanced by activity of Cobalt (Co) or nickel (Ni) present [8,9]. Different metals and materials such as aluminium, iron and titanium oxide, clay, and silica are used as catalysts in nanoscale for many years .…”

Copper nanowire synthesis by directed electrochemical nanowire assembly

“…Common methods for the fabrication of copper nanowires comprise template-based techniques usually with polycarbonate membranes 15,16 or alumina templates. 10,[17][18][19] Wang et al introduced the synthesis of copper nanotubes with silicon oxide nanowire templates by metal organic chemical vapour deposition (MOCVD). 20 The authors fabricated a dense mat of entangled wires with this method.…”
