Sol–gel electrophoretic deposition and optical properties of Fe2O3 nanowire arrays

Template induced sol–gel synthesis of highly ordered LaNiO3 nanowires

“…The SAED results indicate that LaNiO 3 nanowires are polycrystalline. Generally, the nanowires prepared by the sol-gel method with the AAO templates are polycrystal [26,27]. It should be noted that the diffraction rings are discontinuous and consist of rather sharp spots, which indicates that the nanowires are well crystallized.…”

PREPARATION AND PHOTOLUMINESCENCE PROPERTIES OFNdVO4NANOTUBES IN AAO TEMPLATE

“…[10][11][12] Moreover, the sol-gel method is used as a primary assistant of the AAO template in the preparing nanostructures, owing to its distinctive features of controllability, simplicity, high purity and economy of its procedures and components. [13][14][15][16] Neodymium (Nd), a typical lanthanide of rare earth, has proven to be an inexpensive and simple material in the production of optical devices. As an ideal emission source, Nd is a fetching addition to optical fiber manufacturing for it can effectively broaden the available bandwidth that can be amplified optically.…”

Template-based syntheses for shape controlled nanostructures

“…This approach differs from standard electrodeposition methods which originate with the metal ion in solution and effectively reduce ions as they are deposited onto the target electrode. Other metal oxides such as ZnO [285] and Fe 2 O 3 can form nanowires from a colloidal suspension when combined with electrophoretic deposition [286]. EPD more often is used to first deposit the colloidal framework [287], such as polystyrene or latex nanoparticles, on a substrate that is then used to template two-dimensional nanostructures, nanoflakes, or nanodisks.…”
