Anodic porous alumina,–AAO–(also known as nanoporous alumina, nanohole alumina
arrays,–NAA–or nanoporous anodized alumina platforms,–NAAP–) has opened new …

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 …

Photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting is a promising approach to direct conversion of
solar energy into storable hydrogen fuel that could act as a green energy carrier.[1–3] Since …

Due to its manufacturing and size tailoring ease, porous anodic alumina (PAA) templates
are an elegant physical-chemical nanopatterning approach and an emergent alternative to …

Nanotechnology, in combination with surface engineering focused on a fabrication of
various nanostructures and new materials, has recently attracted a vast amount of research …

Nanoporous anodic aluminium oxide has traditionally been made in one of two ways: mild
anodization or hard anodization. The first method produces self-ordered pore structures, but …

It has been nearly 8 years since the first edition of this book was published. I was surprised
as well as pleased to find that people who are practicing on nanofabrication for their own …

The areal capacity of nanowire-based microbatteries can be potentially increased by
increasing the length of nanowires. However, agglomeration of high aspect ratio nanowire …

Nanotechnology has immensely contributed for the treatment of contaminated water with the
development of nano-adsorbents. In last few years, the demand of nano-adsorbents in the …

The self-ordering of nanoporous anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) in the course of the hard
anodization (HA) of aluminum in sulfuric acid (H2SO4) solutions at anodization voltages …
