Definitions
- the invention relates to nanowires with a special structure, a method for their production and components of these nanowires.
- Microstructured reactors have a very high surface-to-volume ratio, which has a positive effect on the heat exchange performance and the mass transfer process (compare O. Wörz et al., "Microreactors - a New Efficient Tool for Reactor Development", Chem. Eng , 138-142).
- microstructured reactors There have been many known reactions in microstructured reactors, including many catalytic reactions. It does not matter whether it is liquid-phase, gas-phase or gas-liquid-phase reactions.
- the catalyst material is integrated into microstructured systems of various geometrical shapes. If one assumes the simplest case, then there is the reactor material, which is used for the construction of the microreactor, even from the catalytically active substance (cf M. Fichtner, "Microstructured Rhodium Catalysts for the Partial Oxidation of Methane to Syngas under Pressure", Ind. Eng. Chem. Res. 2001, 40, 3475 -3483). However, this has the consequence that the catalyst surface is limited to the reactor wall. This disadvantage is partly circumvented by means of optimized catalyst / carrier systems. Most of today's microstructured reactors contain small particles or powders that have been introduced into a channel.
- Catalysis is known (see R. Narayanan et al., "Catalysis with Transition Metal Nanoparticles in Colloidal Solution: Nanoparticle Shape Dependence and Stability” J. Chem. Phys. B, 2005, 109, 12663-12676).
- the invention has further set itself the task of providing nanowires or a nanowire structural element available, which are versatile.
- a multiplicity of nanowires is produced by a template-based method.
- a template is provided which has a multiplicity of nanopores which pass through the template, in particular a template foil, and which has a cathode layer on a first side of the template.
- the cathode layer preferably a metal layer, is deposited on a first side of the template foil.
- the cathode layer may be integrally deposited, e.g. PVD, vapor deposition or sputtering are applied.
- the cathode layer is produced at least in two layers.
- a first part-layer is deposited, e.g. by means of PVD,
- this first sub-layer is then reinforced by means of electrochemical deposition with a second sub-layer, optionally made of a different material.
- a second sub-layer optionally made of a different material.
- a thin metal layer eg gold layer sputtered on and Subsequently, this gold layer is electrochemically reinforced eg with a copper layer. This has the advantage that initially a relatively thin layer can be sputtered on, which can be cheaper.
- the templated interspersed with nanopores is produced by irradiating an ordinary plastic film, in particular a polymer film, with energy radiation, in particular with high-energy ions.
- an ordinary plastic film in particular a polymer film
- energy radiation in particular with high-energy ions.
- Ion beams are e.g. available at the synchrotron of the Deutschen für Schwerionenforschung in Darmstadt. Irradiation produces a multitude of traces that assert the template.
- the tracks are characterized in that the molecular structure, e.g. the
- the channels can thus be made with diameters down to a few nanometers and are referred to as nanopores.
- the latent traces and thus the subsequently generated nanopores are here stochastically distributed with respect to the plane of the template surface.
- nanopores below nanowires by electrochemical deposition of an electrically conductive Material, in particular metal deposited or "grown", wherein the nanowires within the nanopores on the cathode layer grow on a first side of the template.
- the cathode layer is deposited on the template foil before deposition of the nanowires in the nanopores ion irradiation and etching to produce the nanopores or after etching to produce the nanopores.
- the nanopores are filled by electrochemical deposition, with the nanowires growing in the nanopores.
- the growth process of nanowires begins at the
- the cathode layer and the nanowires grow within the nanopores from the cathode layer to the opposite side of the template foil.
- the nanowires are now deposited in the nanopores, with the nanowires of metal growing inside the nanopores, in particular directly, on the cathode layer, thereby firmly growing together with the cathode layer.
- Such a method of nanowire production is basically known; for example, TW Cornelius et al. , "Controlled fabrication of poly- and single-crystalline bismuth nanowires", Nanotechnology 2005, 16, pp. 246-249; and the dissertations of Thomas Walter Cornelius, GSI, 2006; Florian Maurer, GSI, 2007, as well as Shafqat Karim, GSI, 2007, which hereby by Reference be incorporated. With these methods, however, only homogeneous nanowires were obtained.
- Templatfolie or the cathode layer applied.
- a negative voltage is applied to the cathode layer with respect to the anode, such that during the cathodic deposition pulses the nanowires are each a length dependent on the duration of the respective cathodic deposition pulse and a first diameter defined by the diameter of the nanopores Nanopores grow.
- the respective segments radially complete the nanopores.
- cathode layer and “anode” will usefully be used, although during the counter pulses the cathode layer is positively biased and the anode is negatively biased. It has now surprisingly been found that, during the anodic counterpulses, the nanowire growth obviously does not simply stop, but segments are produced on the nanowires having a smaller diameter, which no longer completely fills the respective nanopore radially, but is smaller. Thus, during the anodic counterpulses between the cathodic deposition pulses, the nanowires grow one at a time length dependent on the duration of the respective anodic counterpulse and a second diameter in the nanopores, the second diameter being smaller than the first diameter.
- segmented nanowires with an alternating sequence of thicker and thinner segments along the length of the nanowires can be produced. Subsequently, the template foil is dissolved and removed, with a polymer film with a suitable solvent, and thus the segmented nanowires are exposed.
- segment formation is successful when the anodic counter pulses cause a positive current flow away from the cathode layer. The point where there is no current flow between the
- Equilibrium stress is, inter alia, dependent on the concentration of material and electrolyte, possibly even dependent on temperature, and can be determined by the person skilled in the art for each separation system.
- a cathodic deposition pulse is understood here to mean a voltage pulse in which a voltage with respect to the anode is applied to the cathode layer, which voltage is more negative than the equilibrium voltage in order to bring about a positive current flow from the anode in the direction of the cathode layer.
- Anodic counter-pulse is understood here to mean a voltage pulse in which a voltage with respect to the anode, which is more positive than the equilibrium voltage, is applied to the cathode layer in order to bring about a positive current flow from the cathode layer in the direction of the anode.
- the equilibrium voltage of the cathode layer relative to the anode was about -400 mV, so that at an applied voltage of +400 mV to the cathode layer with respect to the cathode, an anodic counter pulse with a relative voltage of +800 mV relative to the equilibrium voltage.
- the anodic counter pulses preferably have a certain positive minimum voltage relative to the equilibrium voltage and to achieve the desired effect.
- the positive relative voltage at the cathode layer relative to the equilibrium voltage is therefore preferably at least +100 mV, more preferably at least +400 mV, particularly preferably +800 mV ⁇ 400 mV.
- Equilibrium voltage between the cathode layer and the anode of -400 mV this means an absolute voltage of at least positive than -300 mV, more preferably more positive than 0 mV, more preferably +400 mV ⁇ 400 mV.
- segmented nanowires can be produced with the method described above, in which first segments alternate with a first diameter and second segments with a second diameter, wherein the first diameter is greater than the second diameter.
- first segments alternate with a first diameter and second segments with a second diameter, wherein the first diameter is greater than the second diameter.
- two spaced-apart first larger diameter segments are fixedly connected to each other by means of a second smaller diameter segment therebetween. Therefore, the first segments will hereinafter also be referred to as main segments and the second segments as
- Connecting segments wherein the main segments and the connecting segments are made of the same material.
- the main segments and the connecting segments are integrally connected together due to the deposition process, forming a unitary nanowire of electrochemically grown material.
- the main segments are thus connected to each other like pearls on a string of pearls from the connecting segments.
- the surface area of the segmented nanowires is larger than the surface area of homogeneous nanowires of constant diameter. Further advantages are application-specific.
- the length of the first segments is adjusted specifically over the duration of the cathodic Abscheidepulse.
- the length of the second segments is set specifically over the time duration of the time intervals.
- the length of the first and second segments can be adjusted independently of one another by means of the respective time length of the cathodic deposition pulses and the time intervals. It can therefore be selected in each case a predetermined length of the first and second segments. Then, the time length of the cathodic Abscheidepulse and the time intervals is adjusted accordingly to produce the selected and thus predetermined respective length of the first and second segments.
- the first and second segments preferably have a different length. It is preferred to set the length of the main segments with the larger diameter larger than the length of the connecting segments with the smaller diameter.
- the duration of the anodic counterpulses is selected shorter than the duration of the cathodic Abscheidepulse.
- a duration of the cathodic deposition pulses of less than 60 is preferred Seconds, preferably shorter than 20 seconds, more preferably set in the range of 1 to 5 seconds.
- the duration of the anodic counter pulses is preferably in the range between a factor of 5 and 1.5 shorter than the length of the cathodic Abscheidepulse.
- the anodic counter pulses preferably have a length of 0.1 to 5 seconds, particularly preferably 0.3 to 3 seconds.
- the duration of the cathodic Abscheidepulse and the anodic counter pulses should not be too short to ensure the formation of the segments. It is assumed that a minimum duration of the cathodic Abscheidepulse and / or the anodic counter pulses of at least 100 ms.
- the nanowires produced accordingly consist of electrochemically grown electrically conductive
- a material in particular a metal or a metallic compound with an alternating sequence of a plurality of major segments of larger diameter and a plurality of connecting segments of smaller diameter. Therefore, here is a segmented from
- a segmented nanowire may consist of more than 100, possibly more than 1000 alternating pairs of main segments and connecting segments.
- the main segments and the connecting segments alternate regularly in the longitudinal direction of each nano-scale nanowire, so that in the longitudinal direction of each nanowire there is always exactly one connecting segment between two main segments.
- segmented nanowires can be produced, in which the length of the main segments is smaller than 100 nm.
- the length of the main segments can be freely predetermined, with a Length of less than 1000 nm appears advantageous.
- the length of the connecting segments is preferably set smaller than 10 nm, in order to ensure a sufficient stability of the segmented nanowires.
- the shape of the main segments is essentially circular cylindrical, as they map the inner shape of the nanopores. It has been found that the segmentation works well if the diameter of the nanopores is not too large.
- the diameter of the nanopores and thus the diameter of the main segments is preferably less than 500 nm, more preferably between a few nanometers and a few 100 nanometers.
- the diameter of the main segments is constant over the length of the nanowires.
- the pulsed voltage of cathodic deposition pulses and anodic counter-pulses at the deposition device is set as a uniform sequence with a constant pulse duration, the first and second segments each have a constant length over at least a portion of the length of the nanowire, so that the segmentation at least over one Part of the length of the nanowires is regular.
- the templated method in a template foil can be used to produce a large number of nanowires at once. These can be separated from each other after production by detachment of the cathode layer, so that a large number of individual segmented nanowires is formed.
- a stable nanowire structural element comprising an array of a plurality of the segmented nanowires.
- This can be achieved, for example, by leaving the cathode layer as a substrate layer on the nanowire array, wherein each nanowire is firmly connected at one end to the substrate layer.
- the template foil is dissolved without first removing the cathode layer.
- the cathode layer has a dual function, it serves as an electrode for the electrochemical deposition process and on the other hand in the finished nanowire structural element as a stable closed substrate or cover layer, ie it remains as an integral part of the nanowire structural element to be generated and is not removed again.
- nanowire structural element comprising a nanowire array of segmented nanowires arranged between two cover layers such that the nanowire array is sandwiched between the two cover layers.
- a second cover layer is also provided on the opposite side.
- the electrochemical deposition process of the nanowires is continued for at least as long until caps have formed on the nanowires on the second side of the template foil.
- the following two options are further proposed, in particular: The electrochemical deposition process is continued after the nanopores have been completely filled up, with caps on the nanowires first growing on the second side of the template foil.
- the caps grow together to form a surface-closed layer and this surface-closed layer gains in thickness as the deposition time increases.
- the electrochemical deposition process with which the nanowires are produced or grown can therefore simply continue until the second cover layer has grown completely in the form of a sufficiently thick, stable, surface-closed layer.
- the nanowires and the entire second cover layer then form an integrally grown structure of electrochemically deposited material.
- the partial steps (d1) and (d2) in FIG. 1 are carried out as substeps of the same electrochemical deposition process with the same electrically conductive material.
- the electrochemical deposition process for producing the nanowires is continued until on the second side of the template foil caps grow on the nanowires and the caps at least partially grow together, but not yet a stable second cover layer is produced and then terminated once.
- the completion of the second cover layer takes place only in a separate second subsequent deposition process, wherein a two-dimensionally closed further layer is deposited on the at least partially coalesced caps, so that the stable second cover layer then from the two-layer arrangement of the at least partially grown together caps and the surface closed another layer is created.
- the at least partially grown together Caps thus form a first sub-layer of the second cover layer, and the further layer forms a second sub-layer of the second cover layer.
- the separate deposition process may also be an electrochemical deposition, but may also include a PVD process, vapor deposition or sputtering. Although the separate deposition process is an electrochemical deposition, a different material may be used for the second sublayer than for the nanowires and the caps. The second sub-layer will be different than the segmented one
- Nanowires preferably electrochemically deposited by a DC method. As a result, the deposition time of the second cover layer can be shortened.
- the second cover layer is partially or completely produced by electrochemical deposition of an electrically conductive material, preferably metal on the second side of the template film, so that the second cover layer is firmly fused with the nanowires.
- the ion irradiation is carried out first and subsequently, but before the etching, the cathode layer is applied.
- the cathode layer Only after the cathode layer has been applied to the template film are the nanopores etched from the latent ion-induced traces.
- the conductive metal layer is applied to the template film and this is electrochemically amplified before the latent ion traces are subjected to the chemical etching process. In this way it is prevented that material of the cathode layer can deposit in the pores.
- the pores are in particular strictly cylindrical and have no constriction at both ends.
- the result of this preferred embodiment is therefore a nanowire structural element having a cavity structure consisting of an array of a plurality of juxtaposed segmented nanowires and two parallel spaced, surface-closed cover layers after the template foil has been removed.
- the two cover layers are in this embodiment an integral part of the nanowire structural element and are not separated from the segmented nanowires, but remain firmly connected to these, more precisely, are fused together by the electrochemical deposition process at the atomic / molecular level.
- the nanowires extend in this way.
- Embodiment transversely between the two cover layers and the nanowires are fused with their first end to the cathode layer and with its second end to the second cover layer, so that the nanowires connect the two layers firmly together and define the distance between the two cover layers.
- the cavity structure is thus two-dimensional open-cell in the plane parallel to the cover layers, so that a fluid can be passed through the two-dimensional open-cell cavity structure between the two cover layers in order to interact with the very large surface area of the segmented nanowires.
- a fluid can be passed through the two-dimensional open-cell cavity structure between the two cover layers in order to interact with the very large surface area of the segmented nanowires.
- it becomes one formed stable, self-supporting nanowire structural element, which consists of the two closed cover layers and the sandwiched between the two cover layers and connected to these nanowire array.
- This nanowire structural element with bilaterally shallowly closed nanowire array or layered cavity structure penetrated by the nanowire array is outstandingly suitable, for example, as a microreactor component, in particular as a microcatalyst component for heterogeneous catalysis.
- the distance of the two cover layers from one another or the length of the segmented nanowires is defined by the thickness of the template foil and is preferably less than or equal to 200 ⁇ m, more preferably less than or equal to
- the production process also gives rise to further specific structural properties of the segmented nanowires produced.
- the electrochemically deposited material nanowires By growing the electrochemically deposited material nanowires, they can have a specific crystal structure, e.g. can be examined by X-ray diffraction.
- the nanowires in the nanowire structural element due to the electrochemical deposition fused directly on both sides with the respective cover layer. Because the electrochemical deposition of the nanowires is continued at least until the caps have grown and possibly grown together, the nanowires and at least part of the second cover layer have grown in one piece. This, too, can be structurally demonstrated, especially when the nanowires have grown in one piece with the caps and at least partially grown together. If the deposition process with which the nanowires were produced ends after the caps have grown together and thus forms a first partial layer of the second cover layer and a second partial layer is deposited on the intergrown caps in a separate step with modified process parameters, this can also be structurally detected be. This does not only apply if the cover layer comprises two partial layers of different material.
- the aspect ratio of the nanowires is therefore preferably greater than or equal to 1 to 50, more preferably greater than or equal to 1 to 100.
- the specific surface area A v of the nanowires per area of the nanostructure element As a specific measure of the active surface of the nanowire structural element, the specific surface area A v of the nanowires per area of the nanostructure element
- the geometric surface area A v should be at least 1 mm 2 / (cm 2 ⁇ m); however, larger values are preferred, namely A v greater than or equal to 5 mm 2 / (cm 2 ⁇ m), greater than or equal to 20 mm 2 / (cm 2 ⁇ m) or even greater than or equal to 100 mm 2 / (cm 2 ⁇ m). Possibly. even values up to 1000 mm 2 / (cm 2 ⁇ m) can be achieved.
- the nanowires When fabricating the nanowires using the reversed-pulse method, the nanowires have a distinct ⁇ 100> texture or a crystallitic structure. For certain metals, such as gold, it may be advantageous to produce the smallest possible crystallites. For this purpose, a preferred
- Crystallite size of less than or equal to 4 nm to achieve, in general, an average crystallite size of less than or equal to 10 nm may be beneficial.
- the actual size of the surface is even greater than the geometric surface area A v , which is based on the smooth cylinder surface, in the present case preferably by a factor of 4 to 5.
- the preparation of the nanopore-penetrated template has been described by the so-called ion beam induced etching. It will be appreciated, however, that other methods for preparing the template permeated by nanopores, such as e.g. the
- Anodizing an aluminum foil can be used.
- nanopore arrays in anodic aluminum oxide

- Such anodic alumina templates have the special property that the nanopores are regularly arranged in the form of a hexagonal pattern.
- a particularly preferred field of application for the nanowire structural elements is heterogeneous catalysis. This means that one or more nanowire structural elements serve as catalyst components, in particular for microcatalysts. For this it is advantageous on one or more sides one
- a microcatalyst preferably comprises a microstructured channel system with a fluid supply and a fluid removal and at least one nanowire structural element as a catalyst element between the fluid supply and the fluid removal, so that fluid from the fluid supply into the cavity structure between the two cover layers introduced through the interstices between the nanowires directed and discharged through the fluid removal again from the cavity structure.
- the catalytic reaction volume and the surfaces of the nanowires form the catalytically active surface with which the fluid interacts within the cavity structure.
- the nanowires due to the deposition are solid (made entirely of the same material), for example made of platinum, so that the catalyst element is a Vollkatalysatorelement.

- Etch e.g. Etch from two sides and then first apply the cathode layer Sub-step ((c2) before step (b)).
- Fig. 3 See, e.g., Fig. 3).
- a template foil 12 is bombarded with ions 14, wherein along the trajectories latent ion traces 16 are produced in the material of the template foil 12 (c1).
- the template film 12 is in this example a polymer film, more specifically a polycarbonate film.
- a thin, conductive metal layer 22a, z. B. sputtered gold which forms a first sub-layer.
- the first sublayer 22a is amplified • electrochemically with a second sub-layer 24a, so that the cathode layer is formed 2 ⁇ a, which later functions as an electrode in the nanowire deposition (b).
- the template film 12 is clamped in the deposition device 82 shown in FIGS. 5-7.
- the one-side coated template film 12 is removed again from the deposition apparatus 82, and the latent ion traces 16 are chemically etched, thereby producing uniform nanopores 32.
- you can the etching process can also take place in the deposition device 82 by filling the etching solution into the corresponding cell 88 and removing it again after the etching has been completed. Removal of the template foil and reinstallation is not required.
- the diameter of the cylindrical nanopores 32 can be controlled by means of appropriate setting of the etching time (c2).
- the thus prepared template sheet 12 is again clamped in the separation device 82 and in a second electrochemical process, the desired metal is deposited in the nanopores 32 (dl).
- the nanowires 34 reach the pore end 32b on the second side 12b of the template foil 12, caps 36 begin to form.
- the caps 36 grow flat and form a second closed, but not yet sufficiently stable metal layer 22b parallel to the cathode layer (d2).
- This metal layer in this example is a first sub-layer 22b, on which a further metal layer is deposited, which forms a second sub-layer 24b (d2).
- the coalesced caps are mechanically stable embedded.
- the first and second sub-layers 22b, 24b together form the second cover layer 26b.
- the nanowire structural element 1 produced in accordance with the invention is shown schematically in FIG. 2.
- the illustration of the segmentation of the nanowires has been omitted for the sake of simplicity in FIG.
- the nanowires 34 produced according to the invention are, however, with a suitable choice of the deposition parameters, as will be explained below, actually segmented.
- At least the inside of the second cover layer 26b facing the cavity structure 42 is at least partially formed by an electrodeposited layer 22b.
- the template-based method has the advantage that many parameters can be specifically influenced.
- the length of the nanowires 34 is determined by the thickness of the template 12 used and is preferably 10 to 100 .mu.m, more preferably about 30 .mu.m ⁇ 50%.
- the areal density of the nanowires 34 is determined by the irradiation, and is for producing the array preferably between 1-10 1-10 7 to 9 cm "2.
- the diameter D of the nanowires 34 is adjusted by the duration of etching and may be from about 20 nm to about 500 nm.
- the aspect ratio can be up to 1000 values.
- the thickness of the cathode layer 26a and the second cover layer 26b is controlled by the duration of the respective electrochemical deposition and should be so thick that sufficient stability is ensured.
- the thickness of the second cover layer 26b should be at least 1 ⁇ m. Preferably, however, the thickness is greater than 5 ⁇ m, e.g. between 5 ⁇ m and 10 ⁇ m. The same applies to the cathode layer 26a.
- Suitable materials for the nanowires include metals which are suitable for electrochemical deposition.
- metals which are suitable for electrochemical deposition.
- nanowire structural element 1 on the one hand, a large number of nanowires 34 with a small diameter D is desirable in order to obtain a large active surface, On the other hand, a good mechanical stability should be achieved. This optimization depends on the material and is adapted to the requirements.
- the achievable pore diameters are here between 10 and 200 nm.
- the density ranges from about 6.5-10 1,3-1O 8 to 11 cm "2.
- the porous alumina templates enable the generation of regularly ordered structures. Conceivable as template also ion-ion-etched glasses and mica films, these templates dissolve the template with hydrofluoric acid (HF), which limits the choice of metals for wire deposition and metal layers.
- HF hydrofluoric acid
- Fig. 3 shows schematically the production of a nanowire structural element with crosslinked nanowire array.
- the template film 12 is irradiated at several different angles with the ions, so that the latent tracks and later the crossed nanopores or crossed nanowires extend at an angle, for example 90 ° to each other. Of course, other angles are possible.
- the template film 12 is first positioned at a first angle to the direction of the ion beam at a corresponding beam pipe, eg at the synchrotron of the GSI, and irradiated with a predefined first ion area density.
- the template film 12 is tilted relative to the beam direction and irradiated again with a predefined second ion area density. If nanowires are to be generated at further angles, the process is repeated as many times as desired.
- the template film 12 positioned at a polar angle to the beam axis is rotated azimuthally about the beam axis. Incidentally, the procedure is as in the example shown in FIG. 1, but can be dispensed with the second cover layer.
- the nanowire structural element 1 produced herewith is shown schematically in FIG. 3 (e).
- Structural element 1 includes or consists of a nanowire array 35 of crossed, coalesced nanowires 34 that form an integral meshed nanowire network 37.
- the network 37 already has a certain intrinsic stability due to the meshed structure of the coalesced nanowires, even without cover layers, that is, they are open on all sides, although such cover layers, e.g. one-sided (substrate layer, which is the remaining cathode layer 26a) or on both sides to form a sandwich structure should not be excluded.
- Example 3 Production of Individual Nanowires Although it is preferred to produce a nanowire structural element 1, as described with reference to FIG. 1 or FIG. 3, however, it is also possible in principle to produce individual segmented nanowires 34.
- a schematic representation of the production steps is shown in FIG. 4.
- the electrochemical deposition is stopped before the cap growth starts (dl) and subsequently the cathode layer 26a is removed. This is particularly possible when the cathode layer 26a or at least the first sub-layer 22a is made of a different material than the nanowires 34.
- the template foil 12 is dissolved so that the individual nanowires 34 fall apart (not shown).
- each side of the polymer film 12 is irradiated for one hour with UV-light in order to increase the selectivity of the etching along the tracks 16 Prior to applying the conductive metal layer 22a.
- An approximately 30 nm thick gold layer 22a is sputtered onto the first side 12a of the polycarbonate film 12. This is amplified by copper from a based CuSO 4
- In connection is etched at 60 0 C with NaOH solution (6 M) for 25 min from the untreated side 12b of the template 12 and thoroughly rinsed with deionized water to remove residues of the etching solution.
- the nanoporous template film 12 is clamped in the separation device 82.
- the deposition of the nanowires 34 is carried out at 65 0 C with an alkaline Pt electrolyte (Pt-OH bath, Metakem).
- the method of reverse pulse deposition is used to produce the nanowires 34.
- the voltage signs refer in each case to the voltage between the cathode layer 36a and the anode 96, as seen from the cathode layer 36a.
- the upper diagram shows a section of the cathode layer 26a applied pulsed
- the equilibrium voltage in this example about -400 mV, so that the relative voltage of the cathodic Abscheidepulses about -900 mV and the relative voltage of the anodic counter-pulse about +800 mV, each based on the equilibrium voltage.
- the alternating cathodic deposition pulses 212 and anodic 214 counter pulses 214 are repeated several hundred times for the deposition time of several tens of minutes, with FIG. 8 showing only a section over a few pulses 212, 214.
- the segmented nanowire 34 produced with this pulse sequence can be seen in the associated SEM image (FIG. 8 below).
- the segmented nanowire 34 consists of a regularly changing sequence of thicker main segments 34c and thinner interconnect wires 34d.
- the connecting segments 34d each connect two adjacent main segments 34c to each other, yet the nanowire 34 has grown from uniform material.
- the connection segments 34d may also be considered regular
- the main segments 34c have a length of about 50 to 100 nm.
- the connection segments 34d have a length of about 10 nm or less.
- Fig. 9 shows a comparable representation as Fig. 8, but with cathodic Abscheidepulsen 212, which are shortened to 2.5 s. Accordingly, the main segments 34c are shorter than in Fig. 8 and about half.
- the anodic counter pulses 214 were kept constant with a length of Is.
- Fig. 10 shows a comparable representation as Figs. 8 and 8, but with cathodic Abscheidepulsen 212, which are shortened to 1.5 s. Accordingly, the main segments 34c are again shorter than in FIG. 9. It can be seen that the shorter the sequence of the segments 34c, 34d, and the more segments the nanowires 34 have, the larger the surface area of the nanowires 34 becomes.
- a predetermined length of the repetition rate of the segmentation can be set by selecting the time length of the cathodic deposition pulses 212 correspondingly.
- the length of the main segments 34c can be targeted be set.
- the length of the connecting segments 34d can also be adjusted by the choice of the time length of the anodic counter pulses 214.
- this length should not be chosen too large in order to obtain a sufficient stability of the segmented nanowires 34.
- the segments 34c, 34d within a respective nanowire have a substantially constant length along the nanowire 34 at least in the illustrated subregion of the nanowire 34. Also the
- Diameter remains constant, which is due to the cylindrical shape of the nanopores 32.
- the template material is removed by placing the entire nanowire structural element with the template sheet 12 in a 10 ml dichloromethane vessel for several hours.
- the solvent is changed three times to completely remove polymer residues.
- the inventors assume that the process of segmentation can be explained as follows.
- the predominant transport process through which the metal ions make their way in the nanopores 32 is diffusion in the
- Electrolyte solution In the deposition of the nanowires 34, two different types of diffusion occur, which affect the segment length.
- the metal ions are reduced at the electrode surface and are thus removed from the solution. This forms a diffusion layer and creates a concentration gradient between the ion-depleted region and the concentration in the solution.
- the diffusion layer grows into the solution over time. As a result, the diffusion-limited current decreases with increasing time.
- FIG. 20 shows the current profile during a potentiostatic production of a nanowire array 35.
- the curve can be divided into three areas. In area I, a sharp drop in the current signal can be observed.
- planar diffusion is present in the nanopores 32.
- region II the diffusion layer already reaches into the solution and hemispheric diffusion prevails.
- the nanowires 34 in region III grow out of the nanopores 32 and form caps. The electrode surface increases and again planar diffusion takes place.
- the described diffusion ratios during the potentiostatic production of nanowire arrays make nanowires 34 well-suited to the electrochemical deposition of segmented nanowire arrays with reversal pulses, assuming the reverse pulse length is sufficiently short so that there is no excessive compensation for the concentration differences and the diffusion layer does not grow into the solution. Accordingly, the pulse lengths of the cathodic Abscheidepulses 212 and the anodic counter-pulse 214 are selected correspondingly short enough.
- the segment length is proportional to the diffusion current. Since the diffusion current becomes relatively constant after a short time, the lengths of the segments 34c, 34d should also become constant after a short deposition time. This is confirmed by transmission electron microscope (TEM) scans. In Fig. 11 it can be seen clearly that the main segments 34c along the wire axis from bottom left to top right initially getting longer and longer until they reach constant lengths after about 2 microns.
- TEM image according to FIG. 12 from the wire center of the same nanowire 34 shows segments of equal length.
- the segments which become relatively short at the beginning of the deposition and become longer along the wire axis can be explained by the fact that first the diffusion layer is very short and therefore only metal ions from a small volume in the nanochannel 32 are replenished and reduced during the pulse length of the cathodic precipitation pulse 212 can.
- the diffusion layer grows into the solution and the amount of electrochemically active species entering the diffusion zone increases.
- the diffusion current increases until it finally nears due to the hemispherical diffusion at the pore opening is time independent. Then, the length of the main segments 34c hardly changes.
- a nanowire 34 reaches the end of its nanopore 32, a hemispherical cap 36 is formed.
- the segment formation is also ensured by a sufficiently positive anodic counter pulse 214. It is believed that during the anodic counter pulse 214, a transport process takes place in the nanopores 32 from the end of the growing nanowire to the pore end. This transport process is faster at the nanochannel walls, which results in a deviation from a cylindrical shape of the segments, which in each case creates a constriction, which forms a thinner connecting segment 34d in each case. It is assumed that the charge of the pore walls and the pH of the Electrolyte solution play a role.
- the electrolyte solution is preferably alkaline (pH> 7).
- the segments extend "deeper" into the pores in the center of the pores than at the edge, as can be seen on the TEM images (eg, Fig.
- the transport processes present in the nanochannels 32 during reverse pulse deposition play a role in the formation of the segments 34c, 34d.
- an alkaline electrolyte solution pH> 7
- the electrolyte solution is preferably even strongly alkaline (pH> II). It is assumed that in the polycarbonate templates used due to negative surface charges, an electric double layer, as z. B. at glass and quartz surfaces at sufficiently positive pH occurs forms. The electrostatic forces lead to a preferred attachment of cations from the electrolyte solution to the surface - it forms a double layer.
- the electric double layer becomes comparable in size to the diameter of the nano-pore 32, and therefore liquids and ions are subject to stronger interaction forces with the walls.
- transport phenomains in nanopores 32 differ from those in micro and millimeter channels. Since large areas of the nanopore 32 can be occupied by electric double layers forming on the wall, strong effects on liquid flow and transport of ions can be expected by the flow profile and the spatial flow Distribution of ions is changed.
- the flux profile deviates from a flat shape and is parabolic. As the diameter decreases, it becomes increasingly sharper. So at least some of the parameters will be:
- a parabolic shape is also present in the segmented
- the main segments 34c are connected to the connecting segments 34d only in the middle, since the ions due to the parabolic flux profile first make contact there with the instantaneous cathode, each formed by the segment that has just been grown, and are reduced.
- a large zeta potential and thus a large EOF is a high pH.
- the EOF decreases with decreasing electrolyte concentration.
- the temperature can also have an influence because it changes the viscosity of the solution.
- the reverse pulse method the ion transport for each segment is redone in the direction of the previously deposited segment and the corresponding profile is re-formed. Because the polarity of the relative voltage is reversed relative to the equilibrium voltage with each pulse, the direction of transport changes with each pulse.
- electrochemical deposition of the nanowires 34 in all embodiments occurs in the deposition device 82 shown in FIG. 5. It consists of a metal housing 84 into which the two electrolytic cells 86, 88 sliding metal slide can be pushed. Due to the good thermal conductivity of metal, it is possible to temper the separator by controlled external heat.
- PCTFE electrolysis cells 86, 88 have on the sides facing each other a same sized circular opening 87, 89 and can be pressed tightly together by a hand screw 90.
- a copper ring 92 between the two electrolytic cells 86, 88 serves as a cathode contact for contacting the cathode layer 26a for electrochemical deposition.
- the ion trace etched template sheet 12 is mounted between the two electrolytic cells 86, 88 such that the sub-layer 22a, here the sputtered gold layer 22a, makes good contact with the annular copper electrode 92.
- electrolytes are filled in the electrolysis cells.
- a first anode 94 which in the sub-layer 22a facing electrolysis cell 86 is arranged, and external power supply with control unit, the electrochemical amplification of the gold layer 22a to the first cover layer 26a.

- the template film 12 coated on one side and provided with nanopores 32 is again inserted into the structure as in FIG. 7
- Clamping device 82 is clamped so that the cathode layer 26 a has contact with the ring electrode 92.
- the template foil 12 is deposited in the electrolysis cell 88 facing away from the cathode layer 26a with a second anode 96 arranged therein. This deposition process is carried out to produce the segmented nanowires 34, as described above, in the reverse pulse method.
- the structural properties of the nanowires 34 made of different materials were also investigated.

This has effects on the mechanical stability, the thermal and electrical transport properties as well as the surface and thus also on the catalytic activity. Many properties can thus be specifically influenced.

Examining the nanowires 34 produced by reverse pulse deposition, a clear ⁇ 100> texture is found, with the texture coefficient TCioo being 4.16. Thus, the crystallites have a preferred orientation, with the degree of alignment being 83%. Alignment of at least 50% may be advantageous. Possibly.

Due to the dimensions, however, the nanowire structural element 1 is also individually suitable for incorporation in microstructured systems which are three-dimensional structures whose internal dimensions are less than 1 mm, usually between ten and a few hundred micrometers.
- FIG. 21 schematically shows a microcatalyst 100 in which a nanowire structural element 1 according to the invention is inserted between a fluid feed 102 and a fluid discharge 104. It is conceivable to run 100 gas or liquid phase reactions in such a microcatalyst. For this purpose, a gas or liquid stream is preferably passed through the microcatalyst 100 under pressure.

This allows a controlled voltage to the nanowires 34 are applied, and thus electro-catalytic processes are possible.
- the device can be used as an amperometric sensor.
- nanowire structural elements or nanowire arrays with very small dimensions can be produced by the fact that the template foil 12, in this case
- a polycarbonate film is irradiated through a corresponding mask with heavy ions.
- the mask e.g. a shadow mask, previously applied, has a plurality of openings or bores, each opening defining a later microelement.
- the mask covers the template sheet 12 upon irradiation, and thus latent ion traces 16 etched subsequently to nanopores 32 form only in the uncovered areas, i. at the openings of the mask.
- microelements which can be produced hereby can have a size of less than 500 ⁇ m, in particular less than 100 ⁇ m, and possibly even down to a few micrometers.
- an ion-bombardment mask is provided with about 2000 holes on the entire deposition surface of about 0.5 cm 2 , so that about 2,000 microelements with nanowire arrays such as islands in the template sheet 12 could be produced at one time. After removal of the cathode layer, the microelements are separated from each other and then fall apart when dissolving and removing the template sheet. However, additional steps may also be provided, for example in order to produce cover layers for each individual microelement.
