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

Aluminum alloys used for aerospace applications provide good strength to weight ratio at a
reasonable cost but exhibit only limited corrosion resistance. Therefore, a durable and …

In 1991, Iijima reported on the formation of carbon nanotubes (1) using a simple arc
discharge reaction that led to an arrangement of the material in some micrometer long tubes …

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 …

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 …

TiO2 is one of the most studied compounds in materials science. Owing to some outstanding
properties it is used for instance in photocatalysis, dye‐sensitized solar cells, and …

In the present work the authors show that anodic TiO2 nanotubes (NT) show excellent
harvesting properties for Pt single atoms (Pt SAs) from highly dilute Pt solutions. The tube …

Anodization of valve metals and alloys is a powerful tool to control nanoscale architecture for
many metal oxides. Except for aluminum, the most explored system is self-organized oxide …

Dye-sensitized solar cells consist of a random network of titania nanoparticles that serve
both as a high-surface-area support for dye molecules and as an electron-transporting …

To achieve practically high electrocatalytic performance for the oxygen evolution reaction
(OER), the active surface area should be maximized without severely compromising electron …
