Metallic nanowire synthesis by anodized aluminium oxide

Anodic aluminium oxide (AAO) template synthesis is an electrochemical approach to fabricate metallic nanowires. Prior to anodization, the aluminum foil is electropolished in HClO4 (20 vol-%): CH3CH2OH (80 vol-%) solution to improve the aluminium foil morphology in order to obtain nanopore channels...
