In this study, we have developed a swift and well-ordered growth of the Anodic Aluminum Oxide (AAO) nanoporous structure by two-step high temperature anodization of pure Aluminum substrate. The pre-anodization surface treatment of the aluminum substrate assists in the formation of well-organized nanoporous structures. The two-step anodization process was performed in 0.3 M of oxalic acid at 20 °C for 40 V and 45 V to obtain tunable pore diameters. The high temperature of the electrolyte solution helps in the rapid growth of the AAO nanoporous structure. The top surface image of AAO shows a well-ordered nanoporous structure with an average pore diameter of 70 nm at 40 V and 100 nm at 45 V. The SEM cross sectional view also illustrates the well-ordered nano channel and the elemental mapping elaborates the presence of aluminum and oxygen. The thickness of the AAO nanoporous structure was determined by using SEM for three anodization time spans (20, 24 and 28 hours), in which an increasing trend was observed. The fabricated AAO has a higher thickness and a well-ordered nanoporous structure that shows it can be used as a template for fabricating nanostructured materials.
