Electrodeposition of NiCr Nanowires Using Anodic Aluminum Oxide

Abstract

This research highlights fabrication of NiCr nanowires by electrochemical deposition. The deposition was achieved using anodic aluminum oxide AAO template with 70 nm diameter of pores. The anodization was performed using oxalic acid with two steps to obtain AAO template. 72.3Ni27.7Cr nanowires were obtained using nickel and chromium sulfate. The nanowires were characterized by SEM and TEM. The obtained nanowires with 70 nm diameter and 420-500 nm length.
