Abstract
The invention relates to a method for fabricating nanowires and a method for fabricating an electrode of an electrochemical device. The nanowire fabrication method according to the invention comprises: a) a step of depositing, on one of the faces of the matrix comprising hole openings, at least one porous layer, having a porosity equal to or higher than 26% by volume, of nanoparticles of a conductive material having their smallest dimension at least equal to the diameter of the holes in the matrix, the nanoparticles being in electrical contact with one another, b) growing the nanowires in the holes of the matrix, and c) removing the matrix. The invention has an application in the field of electrochemical devices in particular.
