Template-Directed Electrodeposition of Iron-Palladium Nanowires and Their Electrical Transport and Sensing Properties
Template-directed electrodeposition was utilized to fabricate FexPd1-x nanowires where the dimension was controlled by template pore size (i.e., 30 and 200 nm) whereas the composition was tuned by varying the Fe+2/Pd+2 metal ion ratio in ammonium chloride baths at fixed deposition current density of 5 mA cm(-2). A wide range of composition (i.e., Pd-rich, near equiatomic, and Fe-rich) were successfully fabricated and their magnetic properties were examined. Additionally, single nanowire was also integrated on to microfabricated gold electrodes by magnetic alignment, followed by post-annealing in a reducing environment to make good electrical contacts. Assembled single nanowire was utilized to determine their electrical transport properties including temperature-dependent resistance (TCR) and magnetoresistance (MR). Additionally, the feasibility of FexPd1-x nanowire based hydrogen sensor was examined at room temperature. (c) 2017 The Electrochemical Society.
