Electro-deposition was done in Electrochemical Cells using Polymer or Anodic alumina membranes.
After electrodeposition, you could try to sonicate to get Nanowires!
Sometimes, sonication helped me to get Nanowires from Nanofibers......
Sir,
Is it not due to Erdey-Gruz and Volmer relation which has very well been explained in YOUR OWN PAPER with the following reference:
JoNSNEA; vol2, issue 1; pp23-37(2012)?
It may be one of the reasons? But we got Nanoflowers without asking for it as our intention was to fabricate Nanowires.
May I (a person from Chemistry ) dare make a suggestion for your kind consideration?
While depositing Mn from MnSO4, one finds TREE FORMATION(in some cases) in the deposit which decrease the current density despite maintaining the required conditions necessary for Mn deposition.The paper with the followng reference has discussed this auspect:
Hydrometallurgy 84 (2006) 204–210.
No doubt, Cu and Mn differ largely in their electropositive natue[Cu^2/Cu=+0.34V and Mn^2/Mn= -1.18V ),yet I feel that it is worth trying the same precautions to avod the FLOWER FORMATION in Cu.
