Abstract

Metal nanowires composed of Fe–Co and Fe–Co–Ni alloys were successfully prepared by means of cyclic voltammetry (CV) and pulse-reverse (PR) electroplating techniques from acidic metal chloride solutions. The anodic dissolution process in the CVs or in the reverse electroplating period was found to be the key factor influencing the formation of metal nanowires. The addition of nickel into the Fe–Co alloy was found to extend the diameter of these nanowires. The morphology and crystalline information of these alloy deposits prepared by CV and PR deposition techniques were obtained from the field-emission scanning electron microscopic (FE-SEM) photographs and X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns, respectively.
