Aluminum Oxide and its nanostructures are attracted the attention of researchers due to their special materials properties such as: high electrical insulation, high mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, chemical stability, and low thermal conductivity. Furthermore, Aluminum Oxide nanowires shows large surface area as well as highly electropositive surface, which makes them suitable candidates for water purification technology applications. One of the main challenges, which limited the usage of Aluminum Oxide nanowires, is high cost and complex fabrication methods for Aluminum Oxide synthesizing such as chemical vapor deposition (CVD) techniques. On the other hand, electrochemical methods such as anodizing/etching techniques show high controllability over chemical composition, morphology,and crystalline structure of nanowires. In this research, a room temperature two-steps anodization procedure is developed to fabricate a highly-ordered self-assembled templates. Furthermore, the etching method is used to convert this synthesized self-assembled template into Aluminum Oxide nanowires. The results show that the proposed electrochemical method maintains a highly-ordered morphology as well as industrially acceptable controllability over crystalline structure of nanowires, which could be used to optimize the procedure for industrial applications due to low cost and simple experimental setup.

Sn and its nanostructures are one of the promising candidates to replace graphite in the anode of Lithium-ion batteries due to their higher capacity. One of the challenges, which limited the usage of Sn anodes for the Lithium-ion batteries, is Tin's high volumetric strain and its low cyclability. On the other hand, nanostructures show lower volume change during charge/discharge and as a result could address the cyclability issues. In this research, an alternating current (AC) electrochemical method is developed in order to facilitate the industrial scale production of Sn nanowires. The developed electrodeposition technique shows reliable controllability over chemical composition and crystalline structure of Sn nanowires. Also, the order structure of nanowires could be adjusted more accurately in comparison to conventional fabrication techniques. As a result, the Sn nanowires as well as Aluminum Oxide templates synthesized by using the developed electrochemical method are examined due to their morphology, chemical composition, and their crystalline structure in order to develop a practical relation between electrochemical composition of the solution and materials properties of Sn nanowires. The results show that the proposed electrodeposition method maintains a highly-ordered morphology as well as industrially acceptable controllability over crystalline structure of nanowires, which could be used to optimize the procedure for industrial applications due to low cost and simple experimental setup.

In this research a novel and simple electrochemical method is developed in order to facilitate the large-scale production of nanowires. The proposed electrochemical technique shows versatile controllability over chemical composition and crystalline structure of Cu-Sn nanowires. Another important factor, which could be controlled by using this method, is the order structure of nanowires more accurately in comparison to conventional synthesizing procedures. As a result, the Cu-Sn nanowires as well as Aluminum Oxide templates synthesized by using the proposed electrochemical method are examined due to their morphology and chemical structure to find a relation between electrodeposition's solution chemistry and materials properties of Cu-Sn nanowires. The results show that the proposed electrochemical method maintains a highly-ordered morphology as well as versatile controllability over chemical composition of nanowires, which could be used to optimize the procedure for industrial applications due to low cost and simple experimental setup.
