Influence of Boric Acid (H3BO3) Concentration on the Physical Properties of Electrochemical Deposited Nickel (Ni) Nanowires
Authors have investigated the influence of the stabilizer (Boric Acid) concentration during the template-assisted electrochemical deposition of Nickel (Ni) nanowires in Anodic Alumina Oxide (AAO) templates. The synthesis was performed using Ni Sulfate Hexahydrate (NiSO4.6H2O) as metal salts and Bori...
