The synthesis of copper nanowire arrays using a templating process is being presented. The self-assembly property of aluminum is used during anodization when aluminum metal forms an oxide template of nanoscale cylindrical pores. These pores are filled with copper metal to form nanowires. The oxide template is then etched away in a strong acid bath. The resulting copper nanowire arrays are characterized with scanning electron microscopy. Results of anodization step-down voltage experiments will be presented.
