The surfactants in the electrolyte served as both a templates and stabilizers during the synthesis procedure. TEM images show that the products consist mainly of nanosized rod-like structures. The current density applied during the electrodeposition was found to have an effect on the shape and yield of the copper nanorods. %K copper nanorods %K electrochemical %K template %K microemulsion %U http://www.shd.org.yu/HtDocs/SHD/Vol68/No11/V68-No11-08.pdf
