Abstract :
The nanopore arrays were fabricated by a twostep
anodization of aluminum in an aqueous solution of
0.3 M oxalic acid at the temperature of 6 C by applying a
constant direct current (DC) of 40 V. A template-assisted
synthesis of Co nanowire arrays was carried out by electrodeposition
into the pores of prepared AAO templates.
Cobalt (Co) nanowires of high density and uniformity were
synthesized via an electrochemical deposition of metallic
Co nanoparticles using a nanoporous template of anodized
aluminum oxide, by applying an alternative current (AC).
