Synthesis and Characterization of Cobalt-Nickel Nanowires Formed under External Magnetic Field

Abstract:

Cobalt-nickel (Co-Ni) nanowires were formed by electroless deposition in ethylene glycol under external magnetic field. The effects of initial Co (II) and Ni (II) concentration on the surface and morphology of the synthesized nanowires were investigated by x-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) respectively. An increase in the Co (II) concentration resulted in increase in diameter of the nanowires. However, the length of nanowires was observed to decrease. Higher Co (II) concentration resulted in a mixture of hexagonal close-packed and face-centered cubic Co-Ni nanowires. X-ray diffraction revealed that crystal growth occurred when the nanowires are annealed at 653 K for 10h.
