Effect of labyrinth-like arrays formation of nickel nanorods on nickel surface as a result of galvanic substitution reaction in aqueous solutions of CuCl2 and NaCl mixture
Abstract
The article describes for the first time the conditions of nickel surface treatment in aqueous solutions of a mixture of CuCl2 and NaCl salts in which selective etching is observed on its surface with the participation of a galvanic replacement reaction (GRR). Under these conditions, arrays of labyrinths with walls of nickel nanorods with a diameter of 10-50 nm and a length of up to 0.5 microns are formed on the nickel surface, located mainly in the direction perpendicular to the surface. Based on the experimental results obtained, assumptions are made about the sequence of chemical reactions occurring on the surface and the role of the diffusion-chemical A.Turing model in the formation of the observed labyrinths is noted. It is also shown that the formation of these arrays on the nickel surface leads to a decrease in the angles of its wetting with water.
