Fabrication of Nickel Nanotube Using Anodic Oxidation and Electrochemical Deposition Technologies and Its Hydrogen Storage Property

الملخص EN

Electrochemical deposition technique was utilized to fabricate nickel nanotubes with the assistance of AAO templates.

The topography and element component of the nickel nanotubes were characterized by TEM and EDS.

Furthermore, the nickel nanotube was made into microelectrode and its electrochemical hydrogen storage property was studied using cyclic voltammetry.

The results showed that the diameter of nickel nanotubes fabricated was around 20–100 mm, and the length of the nanotube could reach micron grade.

The nickel nanotubes had hydrogen storage property, and the hydrogen storage performance was higher than that of nickel powder.
