"Beaded" Bimetallic Nanowires: Wiring Nanoparticles of Metal 1 Using Nanowires of Metal 2

Aligned metal nanoparticles are connected using a second metal to produce bimetallic wires. The nanoparticles are electrodeposited along the step edges of a highly oriented graphite surface and, after being given a protective coating, joined by long nanowires which are also electrodeposited. Beaded...

Summary:Aligned metal nanoparticles are connected using a second metal to produce bimetallic wires. The nanoparticles are electrodeposited along the step edges of a highly oriented graphite surface and, after being given a protective coating, joined by long nanowires which are also electrodeposited. Beaded structures are produced, such as the nickel/molybdenum oxide wire shown the Figure.
