The Fabrication of Cobalt- Molybdenum Nanowire Alloy in Alumina Template

The nanowires have unique mechanical, magnetic, optical and electronic properties, which has therefore been widely used in new technologies. In this research, nanowire cobalt-molybdenum alloy is synthesized by method of electrodeposition in commercial anodic alumina pores template (AAO) with holes of diameter 200 nm. The electrodeposition solution consists of 90% molar Co ++ and 10% molar Mo ++ with pH = 5.9, which is synthesized by DC electrodeposition at voltage of 2.5 volts and takes 15 minutes in template. The elemental percentage of molybdenum and cobalt in the nanowires is determined by atomic absorption spectroscopy analysis (AAS), in which molybdenum is synthesized with 25.86% and cobalt with 74.14%. Also, the morphology and shape of nanowires in the template was investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
