Abstract:

In order to obtain some noticeable microelectronic materials, one-dimensional gold nanowires with diameters down to 50 nm were prepared by electroless plating and gold nano-particles self-assembling. The forming mechanism of gold nanowires that gold nano-particles come into being gold nanowires by self-assembling on surfaces of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) templates at presence of mercapto groups (-SH) was proved. The carbon nanotubes modified by mercapto groups were prepared by reacting with the mixed acid solution of HNO3 and H2SO4, LiAlH4, PBr3, NaHS in turn. The microstructure of gold nanowires was shown by TEM image and the active mercapto groups inarched onto surfaces of carbon nanotubes were demonstrated by XPS analysis.
