Anodic aluminium oxide (AAO) template synthesis is an electrochemical approach to fabricate metallic nanowires. Prior to anodization, the aluminum foil is electropolished in HClO4 (20 vol-%): CH3CH2OH (80 vol-%) solution to improve the aluminium foil morphology in order to obtain nanopore channels...
