The fabrication of copper nanowires by electrodeposition in ion track membranes is reported. The large‐grain copper needle deposited at 40 °C shown in the Figure is a transition between the polycrystalline needles formed at room temperature and the single‐crystalline morphology at 60 °C. A systematic study of the DC deposition parameters required for single‐crystalline growth is presented.
