This paper reviews the state of the art of anodized titanium dioxide nanotubes (TiO 2 NTs),
with an emphasis on the growth mechanism leading to their formation and the effect of heat …

Anodizing aluminum allowed the production of one-of-a-kind porous anodic aluminum oxide
(PAAO) films. These films have a perfectly flat barrier layer and an exceedingly porous …

The anodization of aluminum is an electro-chemical process that changes the surface
chemistry of the metal, via oxidation, to produce an anodic oxide layer. During this process a …

The present review gives an overview of the highlights of more than 10 years of research on
synthesis and applications of ordered oxide structures (nanotube layers, hexagonal pore …

Anodic titanium dioxide films, especially anodic TiO2 nanotube arrays, have attracted
extensive interest in the past decade. A number of electrolytes, either aqueous or non …

Anodizing is a well-documented surface treatment that is inserted in a complex protection
system against corrosion applied to Al alloys. In the scientific literature, there are many …

Anodic porous alumina has been widely investigated and used as a nanostructure template
in various nanoapplications. The porous structure consists of numerous hexagonal cells …

This paper investigates the formation mechanism of ribs on the outer wall of anodized TiO2
nanotubes (NTs) prepared in a NaF/Glycerol electrolyte containing 2wt% of water. The effect …

Handbook of Nanophysics: Functional Nanomaterials illustrates the importance of tailoring
nanomaterials to achieve desired functions in applications. Each peer-reviewed chapter …

The influence of copper on the morphologies of porous anodic alumina has been
investigated under current and voltage control using a sputtering-deposited Al–2.7 at.% Cu …
