Porous aluminum oxide layers may be obtained by anodic oxidation in sulphuric acid. The base of the pores is separated from the metal by a thin insulating barrier layer. The experiments show that the ultimate thickness of the barrier layer remains constant after a critical value has been reached. The dependence of the final thickness on current density, concentration, and temperature has been investigated. It is suggested that an electronic current is involved in the mechanism which limits the growth of the barrier layer.

The influence of arsenazo-I additive on electrochemical anodizing of pure aluminum foil in malonic acid was studied. Aluminum dissolution increased with increasing arsenazo-I concentration. The addition of arsenazo-I also led to an increase in the volume expansion factor up to 2.3 due to the incorporation of organic compounds and an increased number of hydroxyl groups in the porous aluminum oxide film. At a current density of 15 mA·cm–2 and an arsenazo-I concentration 3.5 g·L–1, the carbon content in the anodic alumina of 49 at. % was achieved. An increase in the current density and concentration of arsenazo-I caused the formation of an arsenic-containing compound with the formula Na1,5Al2(OH)4,5(AsO4)3·7H2O in the porous aluminum oxide film phase. These film modifications cause a higher number of defects and, thus, increase the ionic conductivity, leading to a reduced electric field in galvanostatic anodizing tests. A self-adjusting growth mechanism, which leads to a higher degree of self-ordering in the arsenazo-free electrolyte, is not operative under the same conditions when arsenazo-I is added. Instead, a dielectric breakdown mechanism was observed, which caused the disordered porous aluminum oxide film structure.

AbstractThe use of alternating current (ac) electrodeposition permits deposition through the resistive Al2O3 barrier layer, enabling the use of the as-grown porous aluminum oxide (PAO) template. This results in a process that is cost effective, simple, and scalable. However, achieving uniform filling using this technique is challenging. We have carried out a systematic study of the effect of multiple variables on the ac electrodeposition of copper nanowires using a fractional factorial design of experiment (FFDOE). This experiment led to the identification of template damage that occurs when continuous wave ac deposition conditions are employed, as well as to effective pulsed wave ac electrodeposition conditions. Subsequent examination of the effect of wave shape has identified the impact of this variable on electrodeposition, producing a further optimized set of ac electrodeposition conditions. The utility of these electrodeposition conditions has also been extended to the deposition of iron nanowires with similar results.
