Abstract
Au was electrolessly deposited on polycarbonate (PC) membranes (0.1 μm pores) at the air/water interface. It was found that the Au nanotube dimension can be controlled by adjusting the plating temperature and the solution composition. Interfacial deposition of Au at relatively low temperatures (4℃) produced long nanotubes, which run through the whole membrane thickness with small openings. Increase of plating temperatures resulted in the decrease of nanotube lengths and Au film thicknesses. It was also disclosed that the inside-diameter of Au nanotubes can be controlled with negligible variations in length by changing the composition of a plating solution.
