    Abstract: To fully understand the mechanism of forming Zn and ZnO nanowires in electrodeposition, Anodic Alumina Oxide (AAO) membrane was used to electrodeposit Zn/ZnO nanowires by varying the potential. The structure of electrodeposited Zn/ZnO nanowires is studied by means of X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. Different deposition parameter... Show More
