Common mechanism for helical nanotube formation by anodic polymerization and by cathodic deposition using helical pores on silicon electrodes
We report that platinum-assisted chemical etching formed self-organized helical pores in silicon substrates can be utilized as platforms for the electrochemical production of nanohelices of conducting polymers (polypyrrole) and metals (gold). Surprisingly, the nanohelices thus created are tubes alth...
