The Production of Mesoporous Silica Substrates for Use as Electrodeposition Templates

现有的项目是关于生产中孔二氧化硅基板用作电沉积模板。使用电化学来定向表面活性剂，可以产生具有强烈排列的孔的二氧化硅膜。为了制造用于半导体纳米线器件的电沉积的模板，我们希望通过该路线实现可用的孔径的变化。这将涉及合成化学，以产生新的表面活性剂分子和电化学的二氧化硅沉积，结合详细分析所得的薄膜。

The available project is concerned with the production of mesoporous silica substrates for use as electrodeposition templates. Using electrochemistry to orient a surfactant, it is possible to produce silica films with strongly aligned pores. To make templates for the electrodeposition of semiconductor nanowire devices, we would like to implement variations in the pore sizes available through this route. This will involve synthetic chemistry to produce new surfactant molecules and electrochemistry for the silica deposition, combined with detailed analysis of the resultant films.
