The mechanisms of formation of porous anodic alumina and anodic TiO 2 nanotubes
(ATNTs) have attracted increasing attention due to the wide range of application of these …

Abstract Anodic TiO 2 nanotubes (ATNTs) have been studied extensively for many years.
However, their mysterious formation mechanism still remains unclear. The formation of gaps …

Anodization of valve metals is a powerful method to form anodic oxide films with compact,
nanoporous, or nanotubular morphology. This method allows controlling and tuning the …

The mechanism of metal anodization has been investigated for several decades, however
the present models can only partially explain the experimental phenomena. It is known that …

Abstract The effect of temperature (10–40° C) during the anodizing process of AA 5052 for
40 min in 175 g/L sulfuric acid solution at constant voltage (15 V) was studied in comparison …

Abstract Anodic TiO 2 nanotubes (ATNTs) have been widely investigated due to their
interesting formation mechanism. The general accepted mechanism is the field-assisted …
