Cyclic voltammetry for the fabrication of high dense silver nanowire arrays with the assistance of AAO template

Photoluminescence properties of anodic alumina membranes with ordered nanopore arrays

“…The AAMs were prepared electrochemically in oxalic acid solution by a two-step anodization process as described previously [21]. The high purity (99.999%) aluminium foils annealed at 500 1C for 5 h in air were degreased in acetone and electropolished in a mixture of sulfuric (5 vol%), phosphoric (95 vol%) and chromic acids (20 g L À1 ).…”

Microwave-assisted synthesis and characterization of silver nanowires by polyol process

“…To realize the above applications, it is very important to develop a simple method for producing highly crystalline silver nanowires (AgNWs). Several approaches such as polyol process (Sun et al 2002a), wet chemical synthesis (Kim et al 2007), hydrothermal (Xu et al 2006), template-guided synthesis (Sun et al 2005), ultraviolet irradiation photoreduction (Zou et al 2004), and electrochemical methods (Mazur et al 2004) were used for the synthesis of AgNWs by previous researchers.

Synthesis of confined Ag nanowires within mesoporous silica via double solvent technique and their catalytic properties

“…Various porous templates (e.g., Al 2 O 3 membranes, zeolites, mesoporous SiO 2 , and polycarbonate membranes) have been widely utilized for fabricating metallic nanoparticles and nanowires [12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. Among these porous templates, mesoporous silica is advantageous in regard to uniformity and the tunability of pore size [19].…”
