Description

Electrochemistry plays a very important role in inertial confinement fusion (ICF) target preparation. This paper reports the preparation of metal foil with theoretical density by electrical chemical machining and metal nanowire array by electrodeposition on anodized aluminum oxide (AAO) template. Ti foils with surface roughness less than 30 nm and Au nanowire arrays with length about 10 μm, diameter about 300 nm were prepared. The choices of electrolyte composition and electrochemical parameters, and diameter and length control of nanowires were investigated. (authors)
