Silver Deposition on Alumina Membranes
Electropolishing Before anodization the aluminum piece must be electropolished to remove any rigidness from the surface
Anodization Lateral Anodization Anodization
Silver Deposition Electro-depositionElectroless(Chemical) Deposition
Silver Deposition First placed in an initiator solution of tin (II) chloride, trifluoroacetic acid, water, and methanol Then in silver plating solution of silver nitrate, cobalt sulfate, ammonium sulfate, and ammonia liquor
Chemical Etching Chemical Etching was performed by swabbing 2g Iron (III) Chloride on the membrane after the deposition process’
Results You can see the silver particles in the nanopores
Gaming and Chemistry Can a student learn by playing a first person shooter game?
