Influence of electrodeposition parameters on structural and morphological features of Ni nanotubes

Abstract

Nickel nanotubes have been formed in pores of ion-track membranes using electrochemical deposition. Morphologic and structural features of these nanostructures have been comprehensively studied. The evolution of the nanotubes wall thickness and parameters of their crystalline structure by variations of the synthesis voltage and temperature has been determined. On the base of these data the nanotubes growth mechanism has been estimated.
