The synthesis of Pt metal nanowires and nanotubes electrochemically deposited through nanoporous membranes was reported by Ichikawa (2000). Palladium deposits with high specific surface areas, up to 50 m g", have been synthesized by Tsirlina et al. (2002) from palladium chloride solutions with additions of polyethylene glycol and polyvinyl pyrrolidone. Details of the globular structine of the deposits depend on the polymer additives. A comparison with electrochemically determined true surface areas demonstrates the coalescence of nanoparticles. Wang et al. (2003) electrochemically synthesized thin films composed of ordered arrays of palladium nanowires using silica mesoporous channels. Mesoporous channels were deposited on a conductive glass substrate. In this method, nanowires with face-centered cubic crystal structure are continuously deposited from the conductive substrate upward until the mesoporous channels are filled.
