Abstract

Template-nanomanufacturing technique has been successfully used to fabricate palladium nanowires. This technique involves electrodepositing palladium on the 'V' shaped grooves of highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG). Freshly cleaved HOPG was exposed to PdCl₂ solution and cyclic voltammetry was used to obtain the deposition of the nanowires. The morphology of the nanowires was analyzed using an atomic force microscope (AFM) in non-contact mode and the diameter of the observed nanowires was measured to be approximately 250nm. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images revealed that most of the nanowires fabricated by this procedure were parallel and continuous.
