Bismuth nanowires: electrochemical fabrication, structural features, and transport properties

The prospects of electrodeposited Bi nanostructures for microelectronics are illustrated using quantitative resistivity measurements of highly texturized Bi nanowires.

Formation of lattice-dislocated bismuth nanowires on copper foam for enhanced electrocatalytic CO2 reduction at low overpotential

Twisted bismuth nanowire (BiNW) with abundant crystal lattice dislocations is a highly active electrocatalyst for CO2 reduction to formate at low overpotential.

ELECTROCHEMICAL PREPARATION OF BISMUTH NANOWIRES USING ION-ETCHED POROUS POLYCARBONATE MEMBRANE

Bismuth as “environmentally friendly” metal represents a promising electrode material for different electrochemical techniques. In this study, we prepared bismuth nanowires by chronoamperometry using ion-etched porous polycarbonate membrane. According to SEM- EDX analysis, obtained bismuth nanowires show uniform growth with a high aspect ratio. Due to its large surface, these nanowires have the potential to greatly improve sensor properties for the detection of a variety of inorganic and organic compounds (pollutants, drugs, etc.). Key words: electrodeposition, bismuth, nanowires, SEM-EDX.
