Highly Ordered Metallic Nanowire Arrays: Synthesis and Characterization of Some Metal Nanowire Arrays via Electrodeposition in Porous Anodic Alumina Template

Anodized Aluminum Oxide (AAO) nano-templates were made through two step anodization process of aluminum sheet in two electrodes electrochemical cell. Controlling of the structural properties of pores template achieved by a fine adjusting of some parameters of the electrochemical process includes; type, concentration, and temperature. Then the fabricated nano-template subjected to post electrodeposition of nanometalic substances of , Ag ,Au, Cu, and Pt from their freshly prepared salts –ligand complexes. All prepared templates were subjected to intensive surface structure analysis by AFM, SEM, and XRD a detailed information on pore shape , pore size distribution , and crystal types were estimated .
