Abstract
Arrays of Cu/Cu/sub 2/O nanowires are electrodeposited at room temperature from alkaline solutions of copper lactate in the nanopores of track-etched polymer membranes. Using the appropriate solution, the electrode potential spontaneously oscillates during the application of a constant cathodic current. Both the period of the oscillations and the composition of the nanowires can be controlled by varying the applied current density. A nanocomposite of copper and cuprous oxide is deposited at an applied current over which oscillations occur. In contrast, pure Cu or Cu/sub 2/O nanowires are obtained at deposition current out of the range of oscillation.
