In ambient atmospheres, aluminum becomes rapidly coated with a compact 2–3 nm thick
oxide layer. This native oxide layer prevents the metal surface from further oxidation …

Electrodeposition has appeared in the last year as a non-expensive and versatile technique
for the growth of nanomaterials. We review the main characteristics of electrodeposition that …

Titania nanotubes represent exciting opportunities in solar cell, sensing, and catalytic
applications. In this work, four different surface polishing conditions: as-received, chemical …

Among various methods of synthesis of nanostructured TiO2, a self‐organized anodization
is the most commonly used and discussed in the literature. However, different methods of …

Fast Fourier transform (FFT) based quantitative arrangement analysis was performed for the
model periodic structures. Number of pores, surface area and porosity of the structures …

Focused ion beam patterning is a powerful technique for guiding the growth of ordered
hexagonal porous anodic alumina. This study shows that, with the guidance of the focused …

Nanoporous anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) has been explored for various applications due
to its regular cell arrangement and relatively easy fabrication processes. However …

Nanoporous anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) membranes formed by anodic oxidation of
metallic Al have become one of the most popular templates for the fabrication of diverse …

Nanoporous anodic aluminum oxide has been intensively studied as templates in the
fabrication of various nanomaterials. Most of the research focuses on highly ordered …

The fabrication of ordered porous templates in large areas with sophisticated patterns
beyond mono-sized pores in hexagonal packing remains a great technical challenge …
